(Verse 1) I heard the quote since I was young "Only look down to help someone" Reach a hand into the dirt Try to heal another's hurt It’s the right thing, so they say Never look the other way So I reached down, my guard was low But you just wouldn't let me go (Chorus) Oh, it’s crazy how two rights can make a wrong I tried to help, but you strung me along I did the right thing reaching out my hand You felt the right to take more than I can stand When kindness turns to weakness in your eyes The only right thing left is my goodbye (Verse 2) You took my grip but wouldn't stand You wanted me to be your legs, your hands I thought I was your stepping stone But you just weighed me to the bone I held my ground, I tried to fight But you pulled harder out of spite My empathy became the chain That kept us tangled in your pain (Chorus) Oh, it’s crazy how two rights can make a wrong I tried to help, but you strung me along I did the right thing reaching out my hand You felt the right to take more than I can stand When kindness turns to weakness in your eyes The only right thing left is my goodbye (Bridge) I shouldn't have to break myself to make you whole I shouldn't have to sacrifice my soul I look down now, but not to pull you near I see the trap, I see it crystal clear I’m taking back the grace that you abused I won’t apologize for cutting loose (Guitar/Instrumental Solo) (Chorus) Yeah, it’s crazy how two rights can make a wrong I tried to help, but you strung me along I did the right thing reaching out my hand You felt the right to take more than I can stand When kindness turns to weakness in your eyes The only right thing left is my goodbye (Outro) So I’ll just smile. Look up to the sky. And walk away. I'll walk away. You've gotta find your own feet today. I'm walking away.
