Walk Away
[Hook – melodic bounce, tight pocket, drag last word slightly] If you wanna walk away, ain’t nothin’ left to say I done tried a hundred times, you still feel a way You made up your mind, baby, that’s okay I’ma love you from a distance either way Near or far, you still got space inside my heart Hope you find the peace you needed from the start Hope you happier with you when I’m not around Even if it break me, I still want you proud [Verse 1 – talk-melodic rap, short bars, strong end rhymes, slight pauses] How you feel, I respect it I know I left you neglected I was there but I wasn’t Made you feel second You was askin’ for truth I kept dodgin’ the question You just wanted some words I turned silence a weapon I ain’t proud of that shit I can own what I did I was stuck in my head You got hit with the switch You was reachin’ for me I was pullin’ away Now I’m stuck with the damage And it’s too late to say [Pre-Hook – half melody, emotional lift, slower delivery] I don’t blame you for leavin’ I don’t blame you for space I don’t blame you if love Don’t feel the same [Hook – fuller, slightly stronger vocal] If you wanna walk away, ain’t nothin’ left to say I done tried a hundred times, you still feel a way You made up your mind, baby, that’s okay I’ma love you from a distance either way Near or far, you still got space inside my heart Hope you find the peace you needed from the start Hope you happier with you when I’m not around Even if it break me, I still want you proud [Verse 2 – stronger cadence, more bounce, keep bars tight] I want you happy with me I want you happy without I had chances to fix it I kept lettin’ you down You ain’t ask for too much You just asked me to show How I felt when it mattered Not when you had to go That’s the part that be killin’ me Watched you lose energy Love turned quiet on me I still called it chemistry You was hurt in my face I was stuck in my pride Now you colder when speakin’ And I know I’m why I can’t ask you to stay If I pushed you to leave Can’t ask you for trust If I gave you no reason Still I meant what I said Even if it came late Hope you get everything That your heart used to chase [Bridge – stripped, emotional, slower but still on tempo] If somebody treat you better, I hope they do it right Hope they listen when you talk, hold you through the night Hope they never make you feel like you ain’t enough Hope they see the real you, not the guarded stuff [Final Hook – same melody, add more energy / layering] If you wanna walk away, ain’t nothin’ left to say I done tried a hundred times, you still feel a way You made up your mind, baby, that’s okay I’ma love you from a distance either way Near or far, you still got space inside my heart Hope you find the peace you needed from the start Hope you happier with you when I’m not around Even if it break me, I still want you proud [Outro – soft, spoken/melodic blend] Still want you proud… Even if I’m not around… Even if it ain’t me… I hope you finally free
