Don’t Walk Away.

I wrote this one in 30 minutes last night. I got to thinking about my disability and when it all comes down to it, this is what I’d say to a guy (or really, anyone for that matter): Don’t walk away. There’s more to me than you can see on the outside.

I never meant for things to get so complicated
Guess I just got wrapped up in the moment
With you standing there and your disarming stare
And part of me is still reeling because I wanted so badly to tell you what my heart was feeling

In a world that seems like a revolving door
It’s so hard to be sure of anything anymore
Spent so much time hesitating
Now I know what I’ve been waiting for

There’s no going back now
Not after I realized and said those words out loud
Not after my heart’s still jumping out of my mouth
Maybe I should just walk away
But something about you makes me not want to
So, baby, listen to me
Please don’t walk away
Just stay

I know you’re surprised and honestly so am I
I’ve never acted this way before
Always felt so uncomfortable in my own skin
But now with your eyes on mine, I want to be that soft kiss that falls on your lips
The kind that makes the whole world spin
And makes you forget everything around you
Just can’t live without out

In a world that seems like a revolving door
It’s so hard to be sure of anything anymore

There’s no going back now
Not after I realized and said those words out loud
Not after my heart’s still jumping out of my mouth
Maybe I should just walk away
But something about you makes me not want to
So, baby, listen to me
Please don’t walk away
Just stay

So I stand here on the edge of forever
And lift my eyes up toward the sky
It’s too late to stop this falling
Will you be there to catch me?
You know that you can’t forget me

There’s no going back now
Not after I realized and said those words out loud
Not after my heart’s still jumping out of my mouth
Maybe I should just walk away
But something about you makes me not want to
So, baby, listen to me
Please don’t walk away
Just stay

There’s no going back now
Not after I realized and said those words out loud
Not after my heart’s still jumping out of my mouth
Maybe I should just walk away
But something about you makes me not want to
So, baby, listen to me
Please don’t walk away
Just stay

Don’t walk away…
Don’t walk away…
Don’t walk away…
There’s more to me than you can see on the outside…
