She didn't seem disgusted,
when I spoke into her eyes.
She didn't seem to mind much,
which made me realize...
I could have a life too,
I could have a friend,
and then if I would let them,
these wounds might finally mend.
Later though I noticed,
my words came out all wrong,
never was there anyone who sang a sadder song.
I couldn't bear to feel again, how I felt that day,
so understand that what this means, is why I walk away.
