I Can't Walk Away

This is dedicated to those I love who are hurting and making dangerous choices.

I Can't Walk Away

I'm sorry I don't know how,

to move on like I don't care.

Dismiss the signs all around you,

pretend not to see what's there

I'm sorry I don't know how,

to close my eyes, while you live this lie.

Ignore the danger I see you in,

and then wait till you break, till you cry.

Can I walk away?

I'm sorry I don't know how,

to let go of what matters the most.

Of you and your wellbeing

to live like you're just a ghost.

I'm sorry I don't know how,

to wash my hands of you and be done.

Though before me are two choices,

inside me, there's only one.

I can't walk away.
