You were a face in the crowd I threw myself onto you I tried to take you away I didn't know how to do But I could not give you the most Some things I said were never true
Yet still we clung to a ghost I feel so bad you never knew I felt like you should know But I could not tell you so
When you walked away I breathed your name As you walked away As you walked away
We can never get back what we choose to throw away
When you walked away I breathed your name As you walked away As you walked away
We can never get it back what we choose to throw away
I don't know how to hold on to something, that seems determined to crow by the day Every time, I think I can handle, you only seem to get farther away I never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to do For a person like me to do
When you walked away I breathed your name As you walked away As you walked away
We can never get back what we choose to throw away
When you walked away I breathed your name As you walked away As you walked away
We can never get back what we choose to throw away
I couldn't watch you, wishing for something that seemed more impossible by the day Every time I saw your expression I only seemed to run farther away I never realized just how hard this was for a person like me to do
Obsessed with thoughts that deform Held on by hope to the one Crippled because of chains That eclipse reality Crushing into truths we all perceive Without perceiving
I couldn't hold on to, the things that matter to you It was my big mistake Thinking there were two roads to take
