Walking Away

post by dawn garcia |

We've all had to walk away from someone or something that tore us apart. Walking away can often be viewed as weak or cowardly but sometimes, we have to walk away to save ourselves from self destruction. This song is dear to my heart. It reminds me that sometimes it hurts to breathe but healing hurts. It takes tremendous courage to go through the process. It doesn't happen quickly but rather through painstaking seconds that tick by leaving remnants of hurt, but also untapped strength. We have to stand in the face of adversity and strike through it like superheroes. Change is scary and paralyzing but it can be the most liberating move we make. I'm ready for some super strength and I'm willing to brave the unknown. I have to believe in a beautiful future and I have to believe I've only seen fragments of the puzzle. I'm hoping to see how it all turns out. Are you? "Rewind" by Stereophonics Black and blue from the wind and the rain Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain I never ever meant to make you cry If I could take you back, you know, I would, I wanna burn up and die So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care You're making do to please, see what makes you smile You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me I'm lost I'm cold I'm getting old My head is filled with lies I told I've been down I've been around But I've fallen on my own two feet And I've left you out to drown I never meant for that I look around, sometimes I stare I think back now and then, I hope you know I care I walked away that day, trying to treat you right But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line That you're never, ever gonna get over me Never get over me Never get over me But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside So take a look at me now Since I told you it's over You got a hole in your heart I'll find a four leaf clover You can't tell me this now This far down the line [to fade]
