Walk Away from Mongoose by Mead Lake's Most Wanted

I’m walking away from you
I guess you never really knew me
like you thought you did
You always listened so hard
To your own voice all the time
You never paid
Attention
to what it was I did

So don’t watch me
Walk away
Walk away from you
Don’t be sorry
Don’t be angry
Just know it’s what I had to do
Don’t cry
Don’t scream
Don’t follow me this time
Don’t call me
Don’t worry
I’m without you I’ll be fine

I’m sick and tired of going round and round about us
I’m still dizzy from your talking in circles all the time
I am not like you
I am not steel because
I will break some day
I don’t want you
Not like I have you
Like I have you anymore

Don’t ask me why cuz this time I really don’t know
I’m empty handed
I’m standing naked
I’ve got nothing left to show
I’m out of tricks
I’m out of magic
I’m out of games for us to play
I’m out of patience
We’re out of time
So I’m walking away this time
