Walk Away
The problem with you and I
Is I don’t know if I could walk away.
I’ve never loved anyone like you
So I’m convinced I’ll always stay.
The problem with you and I
Is I think I love you just too much.
You’re not wired the same
You don’t feel like me
You don’t require an intimate touch.
The problem with you and I
Is I’d do anything for you.
Regardless of what I get back
I’m not even sure you knew.
The problem with you and I
Is that when I walk away
It wont be from this relationship
It’s only me that will have to pay.
The problem with you and I
Is I’ll walk away from myself
Suppressing every unreciprocated urge
Putting that version away on a shelf.
The problem with you and I
Is the way that version will sit
Untouched, unloved, unwanted
Without ever finding her fit.
The problem with you and I
Is that’s the version I saved brand new
No one else has met her
No one else has felt her
She’s someone I thought made for you.
The problem with you and I
Is she’s not someone you want.
So I’ve locked her away
I’m determined to change
Live my life in a different font.
The problem with you and I
Is if I walk away
Some future version of myself
Will regret not making her stay.
