All You Ever Do Is Walk Away

sad as a painted clown

a beautiful boy in an ugly town

but when your circus closes down

don't walk away from me

you've been asleep too long

the birds are bruises in the dawn

the pounds of flesh between us stretch as far as you can see

but all you ever do is walk away

and I know if you'd only go slow

you could see what it means

to be making the scene with me

but all you ever do is walk away

and I think if you tried

you could find a little time

for the life I can see in your eyes

don't go

sometimes you just explode

and no one alive can break your code

you have a language of your own

an unconnected road

the people you called your friends

the places you won't go again

the decades lost in finding them

you'll have to let them go
