step away

i'm a step away

i'm a step away from leaving you alone

yeah i'm a step away baby

i'm a step away from leaving you alone

you know there's been too much bad goin' on

and i don't have the strength to hold on

i'm a mile away

i'm a mile away from where i'm going

i'm a mile away

yeah i'm not so far from where i'm going

you know i've been around here too long

i don't have the strength to carry on

you know i tried

none know how i tried

but it seems to me that we've been living a lie

i'm not leaving oh not yet

but i'm one step away

so you're crying now

and you're wasting away all of your tears

you're crying now

and you're wasting away all of your tears

you know you'd better save all you can

'cause you're gonna need it to get through the years

i'm a step away

i'm a step away from leaving you alone

i'm a step away

a step away from leaving you alone

you know there's been too much bad goin' on

and i don't have the strength to hold on

you know i tried

oh none knows how i tried

but it seems to me that we've been living a lie

so i'm leaving

i'm leaving a step away
