Better Than Walking Away

You learned to leave from your father
But you blamed yourself when he walked off
You hold your child like the last one
But then you find yourself trying to stay gone
Rage is a game for the lonely
Love is the mercy we need
It’s better than walking away
It’s better than walking away
Sometimes it’s harder to stay
Than walking away from it all
Holding hands at the table
A kiss goodnight with the light on
Sunrise, words and a coffee
You miss it all just to feel free
Fear is a thief to the family
Brave is the one on his knees
It’s better than walking away
It’s better than walking away
Love is the price that we pay
Walking away from it all
Rage is a game for the lonely
War is a front for our greed
Love makes a way but it only
Heals when we stay while we bleed
It’s better than walking away
It’s better than walking away
So many reasons to stay
So walk in and wait for it all
