"Even If I Wanted To" lyrics

"Even If I Wanted To"

Even if I wanted to
Couldn't fight my renegade side
Even if I wanted you
I'm a knife I'll cut all my ties

Never meant to start a fire
Struck a match to watch it all die
Spent a long-time walking wires
Still the shock shook from the inside

High upon on the scales you're weighing
I'm coming off the rails you're laying

You know I won't stand in your way
But something within you still calls you to stay
And it should shake me awake
As you're learning to just walk away
Walk away

Even if I wanted to
Couldn't stop this endless dive
Even if I needed too
I could never stop bleeding it dry

High upon the scales you're weighing
I'm coming off the rails you're laying down

You know I won't stand in your way
But something within you still calls you to stay
And it should shake me awake
As you're learning to just walk away

Walk away
Walk away

Kissing and punching
And we're bleeding and loving
No sign of stopping
Yeah we push it to the edge
Screaming and hugging
And then laughing and running
Be mad if we stop
Let's take it to the end

You know I won't stand in your way
But something within you still calls you to stay
And it should shake me awake
As you're learning to just walk away

Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
