I gave you all my Sundays, worked my fingers to the bone,

Built a life around your smile, but I was always on my own.

You took my love for granted, like a shadow in the hall,

Never saw the man I was, or heard my heart's quiet call.

We danced under the neon, in those honky-tonk lights,

But your eyes were always wanderin', chasin' other nights.

I mended fences in the rain, just to keep our world secure,

Yet you never noticed the sweat, or the love that was pure.

Time and time again, I'd wait for you to see,

The worth in this old cowboy, standin' right in front of thee.

But words fell on deaf ears, like rain on barren ground,

So now I'm packin' up my pride, leavin' without a sound.

I'm walkin' away from the one who never knew,

The gold in my heart, the fire burnin' true.

No more beggin' for a glance, no more livin' in the dark,

I'm headin' down that lonesome road, with a mended, broken heart.

Remember that old pickup, ridin' through the Texas dust?

We laughed about forever, but it turned to nothin' but rust.

You chased the shiny promises, left me holdin' the line,

While I was dreamin' of a future, you were wastin' mine.

Friends would say she's lucky, havin' a man like you,

But luck don't mean a thing if the seein' ain't true.

I poured my soul into us, like whiskey in a glass,

But you sipped it slow and careless, let the good times pass.

Now the mirror shows a stranger, wiser than before,

No regrets in my rearview, just closin' that door.

Maybe someday you'll wonder, where that good man went,

But by then I'll be gone, no more time misspent.

I'm walkin' away from the one who never knew,

The strength in my silence, the love I held for you.

No more chasin' shadows, no more empty nights,

I'm findin' my own sunrise, steppin' into the light.

Yeah, I'm walkin' away... walkin' away so free,

From the one who couldn't see... the real heart of me.

Walkin' away... yeah, I'm walkin' away...
