walk away

lyrics by: Lef Turner
Written on Mar 08, 2015

though it's probably just silly me it's been a while i've felt this way
and i was shocked by the possibility that she might have felt the same
i've talked to you and i've watched the way you act
and i've wanted you since the first day that we met
always seeing you with him has often made me want to scream
but i'm not the type who'd step between two friends so i could live my dream
and how long has it been that i've held these feelings in
admired you desired you and tried to be a friend
cos friendship will suffice if it's all that i can ask for
just to have you in my life is all i need if nothing more
sure i've already said to much so there's nothing more to say
she'll blush as i touch her cheek she'll turn away
i wonder was it in my touch or were the words i chose to say 
just too much what made this woman walk away

walk away walk away
spent all this time thinking I love you 
but stayed aloof
and by the time I finally say it she's in someone else's arms

well since she left me recently it seems a piece of me's been missing
and some may say that it's a shame others maintain that it's a blessing
and i'm guessing that it's probably a little of both 
though it teaches me a lesson it still leaves a lump in my throat
and there are some things i don't think she'll ever understand
how much she meant and how she left me just a shell of a man
so i'll yell if i can as loud as these poor lungs allow
cos i still need to ask why she decided she should just walk out
was it drugs or was it school was she seeing someone else
does all the blame belong to you or do i keep some for myself
just so ashamed she never knew i'd choose to sleep with someone else
wish she knew how cheap i felt but my deceit's too hard to tell
for fear i'll lose her trust or i just won't know what to say 
she'll blush as i touch her cheek she'll turn away
tell me was it in my touch or where the words i chose to say 
just too much what makes these women walk away

A previous user commented:
When a woman finds a man that she calls friend that means more to her than intimacy with a guy. She knows he wants more but hopes he respects that she doesn't. She will walk away if she feels pressured or her boundaries aren't being respected. Emotional obligations are uncomfortable. Just a thought
