Cornered yourself with beliefs.
Said if I needed to I-
I could get out of this,
Then lined your pride with fear.
Gone around again and a bit weary,
And she said instead I should-
I should be leaving here.
Then, stride by stride,
Walking away.
Caution is all she can take from here,
Losing all she thought she believed.
Starving yourself of relief,
And with each turn it seems
You can’t shake this free.
Then stride by stride
I’m walking away.
I’m walking away.
