I’m sick of you pushing me down
I keep getting up
Just so you can push me down again
You don’t care
This is your game
Is it what keeps you sane
I won’t deal with this anymore
I’m walking away

I’ll leave my footprints in the sand
Let them wash away
Heal my broken heart
I’ll live another day
I won’t remember the pain
As it washes away
Let the waves come pouring down
I’m walking away

Stop the pain
I don’t want to deal with this anymore
You make my heart break
Just like you did before
You tear me down
Rip me apart
I’m tired of the lies
I’m making a new start

I’ll leave my footprints in the sand
Let them wash away
Heal my broken heart
I’ll live another day
I won’t remember the pain
As it washes away
Let the waves come pouring down
Let them wash me away

Cause I’m tired of what you put me through
And I’m not gonna deal with you
I won’t remember the pain that you caused me to face
And as you see me walk away
There is no turning back
And you can’t stop me
Once I go
There’s nothing left
I’m not me anymore
I’ll leave my footprints in the sand
Let them wash away
Heal my broken heart
I’ll live another day
I won’t remember the pain
As it washes away
Let the waves come pouring down
Let them crash on me

I’m not waiting around
For you to turn
I’m moving on
I’m leaving my footprints in the sand
Footprints in the sand
In the sand
Let them wash away
Take my burdens away
I’m washed away
My footprints in the sand
