A Preemptive Strike by Melodie Yvonne Ramey

Audio only:

I’m the one that’s walkin’ away
I don’t wanna think of you every day
I don’t wanna picture those words you’ll say
If the universe suddenly goes my way

This time I’m gonna walk away
If you don’t wanna stop me, get outta my way
So please just stop starin’, I got nothin’ to say
I’m not gonna live with your thoughts every day

I won’t be diverted by lust in your touch
I’ll stop all that wanting you ever so much
I’m not gonna be a new fall back crutch
I can’t be this stupid, enough is enough

This time I’m gonna walk away
If you don’t wanna stop me, get outta my way
So please just stop starin’, I got nothin’ to say
I’m not gonna live with your thoughts every day

These thoughts are unnerving and I want them gone
I been thinkin’ ‘bout your blue eyes far too long
I’ll cut all these ties by the end of this song
And take back my heart before you do it wrong

This time I’m gonna walk away
If you don’t wanna stop me, get outta my way
So please just stop starin’, I got nothin’ to say
I’m not gonna live with your thoughts every day

I don’t wanna know if you link to my soul
All I want is for you to just go
I don’t want the heartache that you’ll never know
I just want my mind to be in control

This time I’m gonna walk away
I want you to stop me, beg me to stay
Your eyes tell me you got somethin’ to say
But I’ll not keep on thinkin’ bout you every day

This time I’m the one that’s walkin’ away
I’m not gonna think of you every day
I’m not gonna picture those words you’d say
‘Cause my universe just plain doesn’t go that way
