Lyrics

Mmm, you hold out your hand, I draw mine away. I once was in touch, now I've nothing to say. This time it's for real, we gave, now we steal. No tears, for I fear that it's much better this way. We can't look at each other while distance of time Has smothered all senses by form or design. If distance is hell, hell, what do you say next? What do you say? What do you say? Walk, walk, walk, it's better this way. Walk, walk, walk, we can't carry on As if nothing's happened. As if nothing's wrong. Truth, truth stares in our face. It closes its book. It opens at trust. That's not where we belong. Walk, walk, walk, it's better this way. We can't carry on and on and on and on. The room we sat in before now closes its door. It's trying to say it can't take any more. The screams crack the walls, the pictures now fall, And who'll be the first to pick them off the - Love, love, love on the rocks now crumbles like chalk. Your friends were once mine, now they no longer talk. They all say "Hello", but can't wait to go. We must try to run, we can no longer - Walk, walk, walk, it's better this way. Walk, walk, walk, we can't carry on As if nothing's happened. As if nothing's wrong. Truth, truth stares in our face. It closes its book. It opens at trust. That's not where we belong. Walk, walk, walk, it's better this way. Walk, walk, walk, we can't carry on As if nothing's happened. As if nothing's wrong. Truth, truth stares in our face. It closes its book, book, book, book, book, booklet. It's better this way. It's better this way. It's better this way. It's better this way. It's better this way. It's better this way. It's better this way. It's better this way.
