Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
The stab stiletto on a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps, Mao Tse-Tung on the back
