The Right To 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 know you've been hurt
Burned by the fire
Still you held on, right down to the wire
If it was so wrong, why did you stay
When you've always had the right to walk away?
Now I understand, you have your doubts
When you fall in love too deep, it's hard to climb out
But now you have your freedom, there's no more to pay, no
You've always had the right
You've always had the right
You've always had the right to walk away
Walk right away from the one who keeps breaking your heart
But don't walk away from your one chance to make a new start
Don't walk away, baby
Turn around and look at me
I've got all the love you need
Yes I do
I offer my hand, to have and to hold
I want to give love, not take control
My door is open, darling, don't turn away
At least we can try, don't be afraid
We might last a lifetime or only one day
But you'll always have the right
You'll always have the right
You'll always have the right to walk away
Oh, believe me, baby
You'll always have the right
You'll always have the right
You'll always have the right to walk away
The right to walk away
The right to walk away
The right to walk away
