When You Walked Away

[Verse 1] I know I gave you every reason To doubt every single word I’d say. I built up walls that you kept climbin’ Till you couldn’t find your way. You begged me just to let you in, But I kept lockin’ up that gate — So I can’t blame you for walkin’ out, Hell… I handed you your escape. [Pre-Chorus] And it hit me when the silence filled the room… [Chorus] When you walked away, the world kept spinnin’ But mine crashed down like it lost its center. No warning signs, just slammed-out doors, And the echo still shakes these floors. Yeah, I learned the hard way, Love don’t wait When you push too far and break what’s great. You changed my life in one heartbreak… When you walked away. [Verse 2] I should’ve told you that you saved me Every time I pushed you to the edge. Should’ve pulled you in instead of Pullin’ back from what we had. Now I keep thinkin’ ’bout those nights You cried but stayed anyway — All the words I should’ve spoken Are the ones I choke on every day. [Pre-Chorus] And I swear I see your shadow in every room… [Chorus] When you walked away, the world kept spinnin’ But mine crashed down like it lost its center. No warning signs, just slammed-out doors, And the echo still shakes these floors. Yeah, I learned the hard way, Love don’t wait When you push too far and break what’s great. You changed my life in one heartbreak… When you walked away. [Verse 3] Now I’m fixin’ what I broke inside, Tryna be the man you believed I was. I’m cleanin’ up the mess I made, Every piece of me rebuildin’ trust. If someday you come back around, You won’t see that same mistake — I’ll be someone you can lean into… Not the reason that you break. [Bridge] If there’s a road back to your heart, I’ll walk every mile in the dark. I’m learnin’ love the hardest way ‘Cause I lost mine when you walked away. [Final Chorus] When you walked away, the world kept spinnin’ But I swore right then — the pain ain’t winnin’. No fallin’ back to who I was before, I’m fightin’ for a second chance and more. Yeah, I’m changin’ every damn day, Brick by brick and grace by grace. The man I’ll be starts from that day… When you walked away. [Outro] Little by little… I’m makin’ my way.
