I'm walking away now

joanna scott 1967 (Birmingham)



·

Tender arms once held me
now they are never there
they are just a distant memory
something we once got to share
Now tears are all that's left
from the life I shared with you
my heart was always breaking
as the lies you told me grew
You lost me for a million reasons
yet you failed to see
you never listened to anything
that really came from me
So now that i am leaving
there's no reason for me to stay
the end as finally come
and i am walking away
