The Day I Walked Away Video (MV)

Celebrating New Year, I thought it would be us
Fireworks and sadness, last year we were still in love
We were so high, it almost felt like we were on drugs
But I remember the next day you said "I think it's been enough"

Ice skating in the winter, one question that I wanted to ask
Why do you need others, when you could have me instead?
"But you'll get it when you're older", I remember what you said
Now I realize that age has nothing to do with that

You never cheated and I never caught you in a lie
But the way you spoke the truth always made me feel like I could die
And you never apologized to me for letting me stay
While you knew I wasn't strong enough to walk away
I couldn't walk away

Endless summer nights, swimming in the lake with you
It all hurts to know that you'll take the next guy there too
Sailing on your boat, he'll probably think that you are cool
Cause I thought the same, and I was such a fool

We tried to say goodbye in June when I turned 24
Cause at my birthday party, you acted so cold
When I left I saw you cry and I decided to stay
I wasn't strong enough to walk away
I should have walked away
I should have walked away

You came back from holiday, cause you got the news your dad was sick
I called you every day and sometimes you wouldn't answer it
I hope you still have the picture that was taken right when you were back
Drying my tears that were pouring when you told me about all the guys you met
And I never really liked your friends and you didn't like mine
Why was I trying so hard to be liked all the time
You never gave a shit about me when I told you I was in pain
Now I know I'm strong enough to walk away
So I walked away

Say goodbye to the nights when we binge watched all our favorite shows
Say goodbye to the nights when I tried so hard to let you go
Say goodbye to the guy who was there at the funeral
Say goodbye to my oh my stuffed animals

Say goodbye to the fights we had about little things
Say goodbye to the guy you loved, no phone ringing
Say goodbye to the lie that I could be your everything
Cause I have tried, oh I have tried to be your everything

Celebrating New Year, I think that I'll be fine
But I can't help but wonder where you are tonight
I hope you're doing okay, and I hope you are alright
Cause even though we're over, these memories never die
