LYRIC FOR SALE

By Michael May

17 Steps.

17 Steps to set me free
sat here across from you
out the corner of my eye
I see my way out

17 Steps to get away
From your angry words
Firing away at me
The damage irreversible

17 Steps is all it would take
To get out of the line of fire
Yet I sit here still
Like a deer in the headlights

17 Steps away from you
yet I can’t move
taking hit after hit
going down in flames

Run away, run away (17 steps)
Get yourself out of here (17 Steps)
Run away, run away (17 Steps)
Let go of all you hold dear (17 Steps)

Run away, run away (17 Steps)
As much as it hurts to go
Run away, run away (17 Steps)
Get away from all you know

17 Steps will end it all
That’s what you want
That’s what you’ll get
With the curtain fall

17 Steps where salvation lies
But I stay where I am
Still in awe of you
Even in the darkest time

Run away, run away (17 steps)
Get yourself away from her (17 Steps)
Run away, run away (17 Steps)
Treating you so unfair (17 Steps)

Run away, run away (17 Steps)
As much as it hurts to say
Run away, run away (17 Steps)
You know it will end anyway

17 Steps is what there are
After my world ends
After your words sink in
And it all goes dark

But in the end,
All that I find

17 Steps is what you took.
To leave me behind.
