I kissed her lips in the dark one last time
Then I left her side
All that I left behind was a note
Telling her goodbye
And I ran cause my fear was too strong to avoid
And it got the best of me
I was scared that the responsibility
Of a family was too much for me
If that I'm walking away, my love
It's for the best, my love
I can't be the man you need me to be
So I'm walking away, my love I must let you go, my love
So please just understand
That I'm walking away, I'm walking away
I'm walking away, I'm walking away
It's been so long since my nightmare started
These past years have made me a man
I beg my girl that we get back together
And let me make things right again
And she said that I moved on since you've been gone
You weren't here to help me carry on
You've already missed so much and there's no way to catch up
So that's why I gotta let you go
She said I'm walking away, my love
It's for the best, my love
You can't be the man I need to be
So I'm walking away, my love I must let you go, my love
So please just understand
That I'm walking away, I'm walking away
I'm walking away, I'm walking away
A few more years passed by and I ran into this man
I noticed he looked like me so I stopped
Stopped to shake his hand
As we stood there he said that he knew that one day
He and I were meant to meet
I was stunned to find out that this man was my son
As he watched me unforgivably
He said I'm walking away from you
Just like you did with me
Cause I'm twice the man that you'll ever be
So I'm walking away from you
And all of the pain you've caused
This is how it has to be
So I'm walking away, I'm walking away
I'm walking away, I'm walking away
Please don't leave, let me cry
I can't wake up for no time
I was wrong, now I see
You're the real place in my life
