I Walked Away

I Walked Away

Verse 1

I was worn by miles and broken nights

Dust on my heart, no end in sight

I stopped to breathe, to ease the pain

Then I saw you standing in the rain

You spoke in words that shook my core

A silent storm behind your roar

Your eyes were fire, your voice was plea

A moment begging to capture me

Pre-Chorus

You said, “Please don’t walk away”

I felt my soul begin to sway

But something deep inside me knew

This wasn’t love… this wasn’t true

Chorus

So I walked away, not ‘cause I’m strong

But ‘cause I’ve been weak too long

I won’t lose myself tonight

I choose the dark, I choose the light

I walked away with trembling faith

Mercy hurts more than desire’s taste

I faced the fire, I heard it say

Live to love another day

Verse 2

You said your past won’t let you sleep

Old regrets you still must keep

You reached for me like I was home

But I was lost there on my own

I saw my scars inside your eyes

Two broken souls in one disguise

I could’ve stayed, I could’ve drowned

But I refused to be pulled down

Pre-Chorus

You cried like truth had found its voice

And pain had left you no real choice

I felt your fear, I felt your pain

But love should never wear a chain

Chorus

So I walked away, not out of pride

But to protect what lives inside

I won’t trade peace for fleeting flame

I won’t survive by dying sane

I walked away and prayed that you

Would find your strength, your morning too

I faced the fire, I turned away

Live to love another day

Bridge

Maybe this meeting saved us both

Maybe this was mercy’s oath

Not every touch is meant to stay

Some love is letting go away

I hope you rise, I hope you heal

I hope your scars learn how to feel

Some goodbyes come to light the road

Not every heart is meant to hold

Final Chorus

I walked away with open hands

Trusting God and better plans

If heaven watched, then heaven knew

Walking away was love for you

I walked away… and still I pray

That peace will find you someday

I faced the fire… I heard it say:

You lived to love another day

Outro

The road grew calm, the night was gone

I carried faith… and walked on.
