Could've Walked Away ( Lane Grillzz)

Lyrics

Title: Could’ve Walked Away
(intro)
(phone ringing…)
(deep sigh)
Why you had to do me like that? (why?)
Could’ve just walked away… (walked away)
Yeah… yeah…

(verse 1)

You looked me dead inside my eyes and played your role (your role)
Had me thinkin’ I was finally safe with my soul (safe)
Every kiss felt real, every touch felt true (felt true)
Whole time you was hiding things you ain’t tell me ‘bout you (damn)
I was loyal to the bone, I was ten toes down (ten toes)
You was sneakin’ all around while I held you down (held you down)
Now I’m sittin’ in the dark tryna heal somehow (somehow)
Thinkin’ why you had to fake it, why you smile right now? (why?)
You ain’t have to cheat and break me apart (nah)
Could’ve just left instead of playin’ with my heart (facts)
Now every memory feel poisoned and cold (cold)
Can’t believe I gave somebody fake my soul (damn)

(chorus 1)

Why you had to cheat? (why?)
Why you had to lie to me? (lie to me)
Actin’ like this love was somethin’ out a movie scene (scene)
You could’ve walked away instead of destroyin’ me (destroyin’ me)
I remember every promise that you made (I do)
Now they echo in my head every day (every day)
Why you had to act like it was all real? (why?)
Could’ve walked away instead of gettin’ me killed inside (inside…)

(verse 2)

You said forever, I believed every word (I did)
Now forever just another thing that hurts (hurts)
People warned me but I brushed it all aside (aside)
Guess love make you blind when you trustin’ those eyes (those eyes)
You was textin’ him while layin’ next to me (damn)
That betrayal hit different when you finally see (see it)
All the signs I ignored start connectin’ now (now)
Every late-night “where you at?” make sense somehow (facts)
I was fightin’ for a love you already killed (already gone)
You was out here makin’ memories while I paid the bills (damn)
Now I’m haunted by the things that I let slide (let slide)
Wish I left the first time somethin’ felt off inside (inside)

(chorus 2)

Why you had to play me like a fool? (like a fool)
Had me thinkin’ me and you was somethin’ true (somethin’ true)
You could’ve left without destroyin’ what we built (we built)
Now I carry all this pain and all this guilt (pain)
Why you kiss me while you lied through your teeth? (why?)
Why you say you loved me just to leave? (leave)
Could’ve walked away instead of wastin’ years (years)
Now I’m drownin’ in these memories and tears (tears)

(verse 3)

Now my heart numb, I don’t feel the same (nah)
Everybody after you gotta fight through the pain (fight through it)
You turned love into somethin’ I fear (I fear)
Still hear your voice every time it get quiet in here (quiet…)
I gave you my trust and you buried it deep (deep)
Now insomnia got me barely asleep (no sleep)
I replay every argument inside my brain (again)
Tryna figure out what made you change (why?)
Was it him? Was it me? Was it all pretend? (all pretend?)
Did you love me at all or just need attention? (damn)
Guess I’ll never really know the truth (truth)
Just another scar left from lovin’ you (lovin’ you)

(chorus 3)

Why you had to cheat when I gave you everything? (everything)
Now my nights filled with pain and Hennessy (Hennessy)
You could’ve walked away and kept it real (kept it real)
Instead you left wounds that still ain’t healed (ain’t healed)
You made me question every word you said (every word)
Now your ghost still livin’ in my head (my head)
Why you had to act instead of leave? (why?)
Now it’s hard for me to even breathe (breathe…)

(verse 4)

I ain’t perfect but I never crossed that line (never)
Would’ve respected you if you just said goodbye (goodbye)
But you kept me around while your feelings died (damn)
That’s the type of pain that eats you alive (alive)
Now I’m colder, movin’ smarter than before (before)
Can’t let another person leave me tore (nah)
Still some nights I stare up at the ceiling (ceiling)
Wonderin’ if any of your love was real feelin’ (was it?)
But life move on even when your heart don’t (heart don’t)
So I hide the pain and keep my guard close (guard up)
Still remember every lie and every face (every face)
You could’ve just left… you could’ve walked away (walked away…)

(chorus 4 / outro)

Why you had to cheat? (why?)
Didn’t have to turn our love into a scene (scene)
Could’ve walked away instead of breakin’ me apart (apart)
Now I’m carryin’ these scars inside my heart (my heart)
I still hear your goodbye in my sleep (in my sleep)
Still feel every promise that you couldn’t keep (couldn’t keep)
You could’ve walked away… (walked away)
But instead you stayed long enough to watch me break… (break…)
