I must protect myself
And not let it hurt
I must reward myself
My word's a funny place
It's makes me cry
Don't fly to high with me
I don't question why
Collect myself
And breathe in the air
You come and go with me
And I am still there
Restrain myself
But what is the point
My life is an open book
And I can see the join
I need to walk away
From this place that I am in
To see myself again
And let our love swing
I need to turn the page
Like we did before
I need to be myself
I need to walk away (repeat)

I must respect myself
And pray everyday
I feel no in between
My head is a funny place
It cracks me up
Don't fly to high with me
Don't fly to high
Accept myself
It's all that I am
My life is an open book
I try to understand

I need to walk away
From this place that I am in
To see myself again
And let our love swing
I need to turn the page
Like we did before
I need to be myself
I need to walk away (repeat)

I claw my way back up
From falling right down
It took a little time
To figure it out
And the day it seems to race along
Like a train on an open track
It took a little time to figure it out
I need to walk away (repeat)

I need to walk away
From this place that I am in
To see myself again
And let our love swing
I need to turn the page
Like we did before
I need to be myself
I need to walk away (repeat)
I need to learn to walk away (repeat)
