I watched you spiral down Again last night Your eyes were distant Something wasn't right Been keeping track Of all the calls at midnight Trying to piece together Where you might be Every time I reach my hand To pull you up You sink us deeper In this bitter cup Can't keep pretending That we're still okay When every word you speak Just fades away Had to walk away To save us both (Had to walk away) Had to walk away To save us both (Save us both) (Save us both) Had to walk away To save us both 'Cause loving you Was killing me slow Remember when We used to talk for hours? Now conversation Feels like pulling teeth I see the way You hide behind that smile Acting like the past Is underneath Every time I try To make things right You push me further From the morning light Can't keep pretending That we'll be okay When every promise Breaks day after day Had to walk away To save us both (Had to walk away) Had to walk away To save us both (Save us both) (Save us both) Had to walk away To save us both 'Cause loving you Was killing me slow (The truth burns in my throat) (The words I'll never say) But I see clearly now That this is the only way Had to walk away To save us both (Had to walk away) Had to walk away To save us both (Save us both) (Save us both) Had to walk away To save us both 'Cause loving you Was killing me slow
