Walking Away
Tim Wallace 1975 (Terre Haute)
The time passed long ago
To accept what I already know
Many times you could have stayed
Instead, you kept walking away
I know that I will always love you
But there is nothing more I can do
You chose where you want to be
And your choice was not with me
You know that I'm in love with you
I saw in your eyes that you love me too
But you made your choice and that's ok
Now I have no choice but to walk away
