Watching you walk away
I can see every step you take
taking you further and further away
I can see the distance between us
growing with every second to pass

It hurts to watch you go
Hate to see you leave
And yet we both know
It's always harder on me

Just another person who's left
Just another to walk away
Leaving me yet again bereft
At the end of the day

So tired of the daily grind
So tired of all the shit
Tired of being left behind
Tired and ready to quit

There's no fight left within
I've got nothing left to give
I simply can't even begin
To explain why I still live

I dont understand it myself
So I'm finally stepping back
Putting my emotions on a shelf
Done picking up the slack

I can't keep going
Can't keep giving my all
Always left knowing
That again I will fall
