Walk Away

If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
And if I quit it all today, would you respect me?
Yeah, I been goin' through a couple things
Head spinnin' on my porch while the birds sing
I try and get into his care free mindset
Time flies, gettin' old but I ain’t blind yet
A little life left and I’ma make the best of it
And here I am burnt out now confessin' it
«Where'd I go wrong?» is not the question at hand
But where I went right and became a man
Kids lookin' up to me with grown man cryin'
From the words that I spoken when I wasn’t even tryin'
I wanna walk away but I don’t know if I will let me
And if I walk away I don’t know if I’ll respect me
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
If I quit it all today, would you respect me?
And if I slowly start to fall would you hold me?
See, they think I’ve got it all, but they don’t know me
Sometimes I feel like my best is passed
Like I poured out my soul and filled up that glass
Like I gave every ounce that I had to give
Like writin' bad checks 'cause I had to live
Like goin' on the road when I felt like I was dyin'
Fallin' to your knees and you couldn’t stop cryin'
Knowin' that your time in the light is dim
Knowin' that it’s time for the fat to trim
Sometimes I feel like I keep on writin'
Just to say something that you think’s excitin'
I roll like thunder I flash like lightin'
Singin' from the heart while my chest is tightenin'
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
If I quit it all today, would you respect me?
And if I slowly start to fall would you hold me?
See, they think I’ve got it all, but they don’t know me
They don’t have to know me as long as I’m true
Winnin’s not a trophy, this is what I’m tellin' you
My bodies beat down, my head’s a mess
They got me lyin' down tryna beat the stress
But I throw on my mask, paint it with a smile
Fill another flask, and drive them miles
See, I love my fans without them I’m nil
With the hurt that I feel won’t cure with a pill
Did I stay too long writin' you these songs?
Will you miss and respect me when I’m gone?
You gotta realize that the clock don’t stop
Is it wrong that I wanna head out on top?
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
If I quit it all today, would you respect me?
And if I slowly start to fall would you hold me?
See, they think I’ve got it all, but they don’t know me
See, they think I’ve got it all, but they don’t know me
They think I’ve got it all, but they don’t know me
And if I tried to walk away, would you let me?
Woah, would you let me?
Woah, would you let me? Yeah
If I tried to walk away, would you let me?
Woah, would you let me?
Woah, would you let me? Yeah
