Lyrics
I saw the writing on the wall
But I didn't read it all
And now I'm wrapped up in the rain
Like it's 2020 all over again
So I'm reaching out to something
I thought I never would
Holding onto everything that I know is good
I turn to skies above me
Cause I don't know if I can
Fix this one alone
Tell me why you're walking away
On an ordinary day
With nothing left to say
Why don't you scream and shout
Let it all out
You can't just walk away
On an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
The sun comes up
And I'm stuck in my bed
Going around and around with a thought
In the back of my head
As you're walking out the door
Could I still do something more?
Tell me why you're walking away
On an ordinary day
With nothing left to say
Why don't you scream and shout
Let it all out
You can't just walk away
On an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
And I swallow my pride
I've been holding inside
To let you know that I still love you
And oh, whatever it takes
I know we can still change
Why don't we start all over again
Tell me why you're walking away
On an ordinary day
With nothing left to say
Why don't you scream and shout
Let it all out
You can't just walk away
On an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
You can't just walk away
On an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
