When to Stay/Walk Away Lyrics & Tabs by Annie Bethancourt
When to Stay/Walk Away
guitar chords lyrics
Sometimes you just have to know
when to stay and when to walk away
Sometimes you just have to know
when to stay and when to walk away
I heard the edge was in your voice,
it cut me like a skillful knife
And the crimson stained you when we embraced
and you said "Look what you did."
So I raised my voice to higher levels
to share equal spite with yours,
and you said: "You gave into your devils,
oh what a petty girl.
I'll teach you to understand
the moral of a turning cheek.
And so I tried to pacify
I'll teach you to understand
the moral of a turning cheek.
And so I tried to pacify
my biting words, but I found I was too weak.
And you questioned me, so I answered you.
I matched your disdain with a little of mine too.
Back and forth, how the anger grew.
But then the loving words, how they hurt the most
Like insincere praise - a condescending toast
to the way I used to be lovely when you cared
Sometimes you just have to know
when to stay and when to walk away
Sometimes you just have to know
when to stay and when to walk away
I said "It doesn't matter much,"
you said "What do you mean by that?"
I said "the answer's not too tough we're both defeated"
'Cause you try and make me see it your way,
I try and make you see it mine
and we are standing in my doorway
s if it's easier to find a way to escape
the trappings of our angry bind.
But our words don't heal, they only tear
and illuminate the dark that lives inside.
And you questioned me, so I answered you.
I matched your disdain with a little of mine too.
Back and forth, how the anger grew.
But then the loving words, how they hurt the most
Like insincere praise - a condescending toast
to the way I used to be lovely when you cared
a toast to the way I used to be lovely when you cared
oh you used to be lovely when I cared
Sometimes you just have to know
when to stay and when to walk away
Sometimes you just have to know
when to stay and when to walk away
