Didn't know it had to be this way Thought it'd be forever till today Walking slowly, you're not far behind Say you don't need me, that's a lie Better to walk away Than spend another day with him That's what my Momma said My Dad wants you dead I won't lie I think they're right (Just this time) (I think they're right) Same thing happens every time Look at me and say you're fine Who said hurting was a crime Tell me how you feel, it's alright Better to walk away Than spend another day with him That's what my Momma said My Dad wants you dead I won't lie I think they're right (Just this time) (I think they're right) Leave it all behind You're on borrowed time Sign the dotted line He just bought a 45 Better to walk away Than spend another day with him That's what my Momma said My Dad wants you dead People talk and that's okay You'll learn to live another day We'll live another day Maybe apart but that's okay
