Used to wish I could disappear
Just snap my fingers and be a million miles from here
Fly beneath your radar for a little while
Now I’m finding I can’t go on like some poor frightened child

I’m taking my leave from the back of your hand
Making my move for the promised land

I’m going to walk away--straight and steady
Walk away--I’m finally ready
I’m going to walk away like a child full grown

Joan of Arc was a martyr for her country’s sake
But I don’t want to get burned when there’s so little at stake
I’ll take just what I can fit in this box
The marriage and the Scotch I’ll leave on the rocks.

I’m gonna start looking for what I need
Cause there’ sonly so many tears one woman can bleed

I’m gonna walk away with dry eyes
Walk away--no more false goodbyes
Walk away like a child full grown.

This first step has taken way too long
But I’m standing straight and I’m feeling strong

I’m going to walk away--straight and steady
Walk away--I’m finally ready
Walk away like a child full grown
