Worry Walks Beside Me Lyrics

Worry walks beside me every day
They say I should run but it's comin' my way
I'll be doin' fine if you leave me behind

It's coming all over under my skin
Says if I follow I will die like a king
I'll be doin' fine if you leave me behind

What will it take to believe I can run
What will it take? When will I be done?
Oh Lord, I've been trying

I find him standing here all the time
I find him trying to steal all that's mine, oh
I'll be doin' fine if you leave me behind

What will it take to believe I can run
What will it take? When will I be done?
Oh Lord, I've been trying

What will it take to be free again?
I wanna leave this behind
What will it take just to see again?
All this is making me blind

What will it take to believe I can run?
What will it take? When will I be done?
Oh Lord, I've been trying
How does it feel to be flying away?
How does it feel to believe today?
Oh Lord, I've been trying

Worry walks beside me everyday

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“It’s probably quite obvious by now that I worry quite a bit. Sometimes it feels like it never leaves me and that it’s something that’s constantly by my side whether I like it or not. ‘Worry Walks Beside Me’ fits well as a closer simply because it would be hard to follow it with anything else really.”
