Walk Away Lyrics

Walk away

They say love will win in the end
Hold him close and surely he'll be
What if it's heartaches break you again
Walk away, baby, walk away

It takes more than just one to provide
Why forgive him just to keep it alive
'cos when it's hurts are done, cry out this time
Just walk away, baby, walk away

Think of me once in a while
I held this old dream, you see
And there's a path that leads to my door
And a home for a refugee
Don't feel guilty for foolish desires
It ain't easy to drown a fierce fire
Cry will lead you to something much higher
Walk away, baby, walk away

And darling, please, forget me not
Bring out your tears to me
'cos through the years I never spoke out
And finally I'm begging, please
If he cries out, love me once more
Just turn around, go on and open the door
Save your dream, score the one you adore
And walk away, baby, walk away

Walk away, baby, walk away
Just walk away, baby, walk away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]
