Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooo, walk away
Don't walk away
[Verse 2]
See, I just can't find the right thing to say
I tried but all my pain gets in the way
Tell me what I have to do so you'll stay
Should I get down on my knees and pray?
[Verse 3]
How can I stop losin' you?
How can I begin to say?
When there's nothin' left to do but walk away
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I close my eyes
Just to try and see you smile one more time
But it's been so long now, all I do is cry
Can't we find some love to take this away?
'Cause the pain gets stronger every day
[Verse 5]
How can I begin again?
Now how am I to understand?
When there's nothin' left to do but walk away, yeah
[Verse 6]
See now, why all my dreams been broken?
I don't know where we're goin'
When everything is said and all be done now
Don't let go, I don't wanna walk away, ooh
[Verse 7]
Now why all my dreams been broken
I don't know where we're goin'
When everything begins to set us free
Can't you see, I don't wanna walk away
[Verse 8]
If you go, I won't forget you girl (Please don't go)
Can't you see that you will always be (You will always be)
Even though I had to let you go (Don't leave me, don't you leave me)
[Verse 9]
There's nothin' left to do, don't walk away
If you go, I won't forget you girl (Please, please don't go)
Can't you see that you will always be (Can't you see, you and me?)
Even though I had to let you go (You will always be)
(Don't you leave now, don't you leave me)
There's nothin' left to do, don't walk away
[Verse 10]
If you go, I won't forget you girl (Oh no, oh yeah)
Can't you see, that you will always be (Forget you, girl, you and me)
(I won't forget ya, girl, I won't forget you girl)
Even though I had to let you go (I won't forget you girl)
There's nothin' left to do, don't walk away
