I Walk Away

I've spent alot of time on this road alone
while reaching out to you
and I'm just to close to love you,
so I'm on my way

I've spent alot of time at home
just wishing for a sunny day
Butterflies and fireflies light my way
Yet I'm too close to love you,
as I walk away

I don't regret the time I've spent,
Don't intend to pack it all up and go
I don't regret reaching out, or yearning to hold you close
But most of all, I don't regret this time alone

Yeah, I got to stay true to myself
as I walk real slow
A tear at the corner of my eye
as I walk away

I walk away

I walk away~~

sometimes we just claim to walk away while we wait for them to chant the magic spell that will bring us back. bring us back . bring us back.
