Walking Away Lyrics - 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.
