The Day I Walked Away - Drown

I grew up insecure

Afraid of everything

Just wanted to feel something

No confidence

I had no one who believed

That I was anything

Left to find my own

Through the years I’ve found

A safety in a world

That some may call «destructive»

Bring on the insanity

It feeds this part of me

It helps the parts I’m missing

Forgive what I’ve done

You weren’t around

On the day I walked away

All I needed was a helping hand

And I saw myself walking away from me

So long, so numb inside

I’ve found no place to hide

From a past that sometimes haunts me

But all this pain I’ve learned

And through these years I’ve burned

To try to kill what they put inside me

What have I become?

You weren’t around

On the day I walked away

All I needed was a helping hand

And I saw myself walking away from me

You weren’t around

On the day I walked away

All I needed was a helping hand

And I saw myself

I saw myself

And no, I can’t apologize

For the stupid things I’ve done

You’re looking at the product of a two-faced world

And this is what I’ve become

I grew up with «Do as I say not as I do»

I need something real

I want something pure

Something pure

You weren’t around

On the day I walked away

All I needed was a helping hand

And I saw myself walking away from me

You weren’t around

On the day I walked away

All I needed was a helping hand

And I lost myself
