Walking Away
She watches as he walks away
Knowing he won't return
A girl of only six years old
With a very hard lesson to learn
A child of divorce, a terrible thing
A word she can't even spell
But watching her father walk away
She's sure it must be hell
They tell her again it's not her fault
Words she doesn't understand
How can peope fall out of love
And remove their wedding band
"What happened to mommy and daddy
Love is forever, why can't they see
If they're no longer in love with each other
Maybe they'll stop loving me"
A little girl only six years old
Has grown a lot today
Forced to live her parent's mistakes
When one just walks away
