Why I Walked Away

Another shovel load of sin
Towards my lifes end tossed away 
I’m covered in the lust
Of the winds of want each and every day

This hole within my soul
Is void of but one truth
You walk with God while all my thoughts 
Are drown in the devils proof

I’ll always love you
And I will until I’m buried in my grave
Sometimes the hard truth
Is better seen than hearing it said
I sold my soul
At the crossroads while you found your way
I’m not sure what to say…..
I love you
That’s why I walked away

This hell isn’t easy 
I’m living out each day in my mind
I can’t shelve these feelings
And I’m guessing neither will time

I’m confessing and professing
You’re one of life’s greatest blessings 
And I know you’ll never be mine
So I guess it’s time….

I’ll always love you
And I will until I’m buried in my grave
Sometimes the hard truth
Is better seen than hearing it said
I sold my soul
At the crossroads while you found your way
And I’m not sure what to say…..
But I love you
That’s why I walked away

I’ll always love you
And I’m not sure what to say 
That’s why I walked away
