Annie Bethancourt - When To Stay, Walk Away lyrics

Sometimes you just have to know when to stay and when to walk away Sometimes you just have to know when to stay and when to walk away I heard the edge was in your voice, it cut me like a sk**ful knife And the crimson stained you when we embraced and you said "Look what you did." So I raised my voice to higher levels to share equal spite with yours, and you said: "You gave into your devils, oh what a petty girl. I'll teach you to understand the moral of a turning cheek. And so I tried to pacify my biting words, but I found I was too weak. And you questioned me, so I answered you. I matched your disdain with a little of mine too. Back and forth, how the anger grew. But then the loving words, how they hurt the most Like insincere praise - a condescending toast to the way I used to be lovely when you cared Sometimes you just have to know when to stay and when to walk away Sometimes you just have to know when to stay and when to walk away I said "It doesn't matter much," you said "What do you mean by that?" I said "the answer's not too tough we're both defeated" 'Cause you try and make me see it your way, I try and make you see it mine and we are standing in my doorway s if it's easier to find a way to escape the trappings of our angry bind. But our words don't heal, they only tear and illuminate the dark that lives inside. And you questioned me, so I answered you. I matched your disdain with a little of mine too. Back and forth, how the anger grew. But then the loving words, how they hurt the most Like insincere praise - a condescending toast to the way I used to be lovely when you cared a toast to the way I used to be lovely when you cared oh you used to be lovely when I cared Sometimes you just have to know when to stay and when to walk away Sometimes you just have to know when to stay and when to walk away
