It's Only When You Walk Away by Delaney Lindley

It's only when you turn away
I start to feel all this pain
Of loneliness that's not all in my head
All these tears have left me here
And abandoned I stand
Believing in the lie
That the perfection was real
I've had too much too drink tonight
I've really thrown it all away this time
I don't feel like starting all over again
Love is for fools
I can't bare to look
Tonight, redemption is only found in books
I've been looking for the end of all things
Now's a tad too late
But I'll take it anyway
If it helps you fade away
See I'm tired of wasting my nights
Sprawled across the floor
All these nights spent
Looking at my gaping chest
I'm broken and I'm heartless but I'm yours

And I never thought that I would miss
The love I had I didn't know exists
It's a type of thing that doesn't fit
And it burns a hole through everyone that feels it
Perdition I put in exile
I'm now holding its hands
Sent away with the rest of "the fragile"
To a place where memories are breaking
And I see us all as we're fading away
Existing but not living
How much is enough to pay for this mistake?
These masks are clinging so tightly
I'm afraid it won't come off...

It's only when you walk away
I start to feel all this pain
Things aren't supposed to be this way
When your wrists tell stories
When in your dreams you're happy
But in reality
You're living a lie
Drunken off the shadows
Surviving by the tears you cried
I really didn't mean to be this way

You were always my cocaine
The heroine I shot in my veins...
But now that you're gone
I just lay alone at night and cry
I know I won't forget you
But I promise that I'll try
Cause life is moving on when you have had enough
And it's always giving more when you wanna give up
But then again
Love is suicide

And I am willing to die for you.
