Time to Walk Away

She’s been waiting, feeling lost
Looking for an exit, counting the cost
Isn’t it time to walk away?

He’s slipping up, she’s keeping score
Another excuse, just like before
Isn’t it time to walk away?

She lets him drink; he swears he’ll quit
But twice a month, he’s drowning in it
Isn’t it time to walk away?

The ties that bind, they twist and turn
The lessons learned, but bridges burn
Caught in the spiral of love and regret
How far can she fall before she forgets?

Suspicion’s growing, the cracks are wide
Tracks his steps, but she won’t decide
Isn’t it time to walk away?

He’s raising his voice, the blue lights flash
Another scene, just more of the past
Isn’t it time to walk away?

She’s known love, she’s felt the spark
But she’s clinging tight to the fading dark
Isn’t it time to walk away?

The ties that bind, they twist and turn
The lessons learned, but bridges burn
Caught in the spiral of love and regret
How far can she fall before she forgets?

Alcohol, history, jealousy
Her mind’s a cage, she’s lost the key
She’s bright, she’s bold, but chained by fear
Each day she whispers, “I’ll leave next year.”

Constructs a dream she’ll never pursue
Playing the part, but it’s never true
Isn’t it time to walk away?

She tells the world, “I’ll soon be free”
But her heart’s locked in misery
Isn’t it time to walk away?

The ties that bind, they twist and turn
The lessons learned, but bridges burn
Caught in the spiral of love and regret
How far can she fall before she forgets?

The irony cuts like a knife
Who’s the prisoner in this life?
Spreading the pain like an endless refrain
She’ll never walk away, no, she’ll never walk away.
