Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for prideCrushed the end within my strideSaid I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaverI love the sound of you walking away, you walking awayMascara bleeds a blackened tear, ohAnd I am cold, yes, I'm coldBut not as cold as you areI love the sound of you walking away, you walking awayI 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 downDon't you walk awayNo quake will split the groundWon't you walk awayThe sun won't swallow the skyWon't you walk away?Statues will not cry

Don't you walk awayWhy don't you walk away?Why don't you walk away?Why don't you walk away?Hey

I cannot turn to see those eyesAs apologies may riseI must be strong and stay an unbelieverAnd love the sound of you walking away, you walking awayMascara bleeds into my eye, ohAnd I'm not cold, I am oldAt least as old as you are

And as you walk awayOh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk awayMy headstone crumbles downAs you walk awayThe Hollywood winds will howlAs you walk awayThe Kremlin's fallingAs you walk awayRadio Four is static

As you walk awayOh, as you walk awayOh, as you walk awayOh, as you walk awayHey
