Artist：Leddra Chapman

Walking round the corner


To see you standing¹ there with someone else
But she don't know me
Trying not to fall as I'm forgetting how to walk,
you raise your head
But you gaze² right trough me
And maybe I should let it go but I
just don't know how I'm supposed to feel
anymore
So I'll just close my heart
and watch you walk away
pretending³ life's okay
fooling myself!
And I'll just walk on by
I'll take take you off of my eyes
fooling myself that I don't need you!
Standing at the station
as I'm watching my train just passed me by
Feels like I'm frozen⁴ to the floor
I want to let you know what's in my head
To see all the things I should have said
before we lost it, and I know
that maybe I can't carry on
waiting for you to fall back into love
with me anymore
So I'll just close my heart
and I'll watch you walk away
pretending life's ok
fooling myself!
And I'll just walk on by
I'll take take you off of my eyes
fooling myself that I don't need you!
And I keep holding on
to how we used⁵ to be
used to be!
But you don't find it hard
to forget about me
seems like you moved on easily
So I'll just close my heart
and I'll watch you walk away
pretending life's ok
fooling myself!
And I'll just walk on by
I'll take take you off of my eyes
fooling myself that I don't need you!
fooling myself...
