Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride

Said I'm strong, now I know that I'm a lever

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

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 building's 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, hey, mmm

I cannot stand to see those eyes

As apologies may rise

I must be strong

Stay an unbeliever

And love the sound of you walkin' 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

Unless you walk away

Or as you walk away

Or as you walk away my head stone crumbles down

As you walk away to Hollywood wind's a howl

As you walk away the Kremlin's falling

As you walk away to Radio Four is static

As you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away

The stab stiletto on a silent night

Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs

Churchill claps, Mao Tse-Tung on the back
