Walking Away: Unveiling Personal Truths
Lyrics
I walk away, you watch me go
Expressing a departure while someone observes.
Hasty decisions are all we know
Implying a tendency for impulsive choices.
And it's not my place to tell you what to do
Stating a lack of authority to dictate actions.
But sometimes the things you say are so untrue
Highlighting the falsehood in the other's statements.
And you convince yourself that it'll work out okay
Noting the self-deception about a positive outcome.
But I'm not coming back to fix the mess that I made
Refusing to return to fix the created chaos.
You took the fall far more than I did
Recognizing unequal burden-sharing.
And this hidden guilt ain't what I wanted
Expressing dissatisfaction with hidden feelings of guilt.
So go wash the blood off of your hands
Directing the other to clean their own wrongdoing.
I'll take the blame cause this was all my plan
Accepting responsibility for orchestrating the situation.
And I keep telling myself it'll all be okay
Reassuring oneself about the future.
I don't need you
Asserting independence by claiming not to need the other.
To come and clean up all the messes that I make
Declining assistance in rectifying mistakes made.
I'm all I need
Emphasizing self-reliance.
Got no one to please
Expressing lack of obligation to satisfy others.
But myself at the end of the day
Stating the priority of self-contentment.
No time to wish I'd stayed
Rejecting regret for leaving.
