Walking Away Lyrics by Underoath

Cries of the Past

2000

The day I left you was the worst mistake I ever made
The day I left you was the worst mistake I ever made
The day I left you was the worst mistake I ever made
The day I left you was the worst mistake I ever made
The day I left you was the worst mistake I ever made

Was ready to become something
I didn't need you dragging me down
Thought your love just wasn't enough

My hair combed, nice shoes tied tight
Was ready to conquer life
Help unwanted
I can do this on my own
And then I found myself wounded

Tripping over myself, falling and scraping my knee
Sadness fills for I know I've failed
Why did I leave, scared to go back
Hoping you'll take me in with open arms
But also know the hurt I've caused

The breeze of angel wings
Standing there a midst of lowers of every being
Tears grow and orchestra begins to play
What a beautiful day, why are you alone
Run child it's time for you to go home

Wounded spirit, face in the dirt
I cry out for you to take me in
Your heart holds me close
And I look up to face this world, which so scares me
Faith in you, loneliness just seems to fade

The man once inside now a child walking in your footsteps
Hoping held leaves under feet from the trees of fall
Listening to autumn's call
A deep breathe to continue on, fragile

[Outro]
Depending on you
Christ carries me the rest of the walk
Depending on you
Christ carries me the rest of the walk
