Lyrics

I swapped my innocence for pride Crushed the end within my stride Said I'm strong now, I know that I'm a leader 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 (I love the sound) 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 Don'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 Don't you walk away Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Hey I cannot stand to see those eyes As apologies may rise I must be strong, stay an unbeliever And love the sound of you walking away You walking away Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh And I'm not cold, I am old At least as old as you are La, la, la, la, la, la-la, la-la La, la, la, la, la La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, 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 wind's a 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, hey The stab of stiletto On a silent night Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back
