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 leaver

I love the sound of you walking away

you walking away

Mascara bleeds a blackened tear

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

Why don't you walk away? x3

No buildings will fall down

Why don't you walk away?

No quake will split the ground

Why don't you walk away?

The sun won't swallow the sky

Why don't you walk away?

Statues will not cry

Why don't you walk away? x4

I cannot turn to see those eyes

As apologies may rise

I must be strong and stay an unbeliever

And love the sound of you walking away

you walking away

Mascara bleeds into my eye

I'm not cold

I am old

At least as old as you are

As you walk away x3

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 Four is STATIC

As you walk away x4

The stab of stiletto

On a silent night

Stalin Smiles

Hitler laughs

Churchill claps

Mao Tse Tung

on the back
