Walking Away Songtext
von Underoath

The day I left you was the worst mistake I ever made.
Was ready to become something;
I didn′t need you dragging me down!
Thought your love just wasn't enough...
My hair combed nice, shoes tied tight;
Was ready to conquer life
Help unwanted; "I can do this on my own!"
And then I found myself wounded...
Tripping over myself,
Falling, scraping my knee.
Sadness fills,
for I know I′ve failed.
Why did I leave scared to go back?
Hoping you'll take me in with open arms,
but also knowing the hurt I've caused...
The breeze of angels′ wings; Standing there amidst flowers of every being...
Tears grow; an orchestra begins to play.
"What a beautiful day; why are you alone?
Run, child, it′s time you come home..."
Wounded spirit, face in the dirt;
I cried out for you to take me in.
Your heart holds me close as I look up to face this world which so scares me...
Faith in you; loneliness seems to fade.
The man once inside, now a child walking in your footsteps;
Hoping to grow up and be just like you, Jesus.
Hope held leaves under feet from the trees of fall
While listening to autumn's call;
A deep breath to continue on,
Fragile...
Depending on You; Christ carries me the rest of the walk.
