Lyrics
Walk Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I'm strong
Now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold, yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
I love the sound of you walking away
Walking away, hey hey
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Won't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away?
Statues will not cry
Won't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
You walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
And I'm not cold, I am old
At least as old as you are
La la la la la la la la
And as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood winds will howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
The stab of stiletto on a silent night
Stalin smiles, Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung on the back
