She Can'T Walk and Talk

The better part of yesterday.
Was when I watched you walk away.
It just took me ten years to see.
The reason why it wasn't me.

Looking in old foggy mirrors.
Getting lost in all those years.
The only thing that's left to say.
It should've been me who walked away.

The answers only come inside.
That help you finally decide.
You have what you have always had.
And then you find it's not so bad.

It's hard when love turns into hate.
If you survive you'll find it's fate.
But when that phone number's forgot.
You just may learn what you've been taught.
