Just when we were lauding you,
Finally applauding you
For finally finding something worthy of applause to do,
That's when you went and dropped the ball.
That's when you went and blew it all.
You blew up in our faces when our backs were up against the wall.
I thought that you were saving me
But you're still the man you'll always be.
You'll leave me crying every time.
This time if I walk away
That's how things are gonna stay.
I'm taking my heart off of the line.
This time you just went too far.
You stabbed too deep. You hit too hard.
Now I'm gonna heal from the wounds and all their scars.
I'm tired of long long-distance calls
Where neither of us says anything at all
And I'm tired of the way you love to watch me fall.
I thought that you could care for me,
But you're still the man you'll always be.
You'll leave me crying every time.
This time when I walk away
That's how things are gonna stay.
I'm taking my heart off of the line.
Now there's nothing left to say.
You've made it easy to walk away,
Though it's never easy, and I hate to see it end this way.
I think that I can make it through.
I'm not quite sure if that's the truth,
But I'd rather face the darkness than be constantly shadowed by you.
I thought you might try stopping me
But you're still the man you'll always be.
This time, you'll have to cry alone.
I'm already on my way
To starting off a brand-new day
And it starts with me, standing on my own.
