[Verse 1]
You were closer than a friend
Close like no one's ever been
And to think right now, this is how you feel
But as the drinks go in, the truth comes out

[Chorus]
You tell me I'm a slave to the money, but I'm not
That everything I am can be everything I got
Call me on my lies, say they're more than just a few
Don't know what it is, say I don't know who is who
Telling me if I don't wanna see no talk
There's never gonna be no talk
Say I gotta crawl before I learn to walk
So I walk away, I walk away from you

[Verse 2]
Now you've ended up like most
Like all the rest who came too close
Don't want anyone-one to come
Between me, myself, and my demons, oh

[Chorus]
You tell me I'm a slave to the money, but I'm not
That everything I am can't be everything I got
Call me on my line, say I'm more than just a few
Call me on my lies, say they're more than just a few
Telling me if I don't wanna see no talk
There's never gonna be no talk
Say I gotta crawl before I learned to walk
So I walk away, I walk away from you

[Post-Chorus]
I love them, but I leave them
I don't know how to keep them
Walk away, I walk away, oh
I follow with my demons
I hate 'em, but I need them
Walk away, I walk away
I love them, but I leave them
I don't know how to keep them
Walk away, I walk away, oh
I follow with my demons
I hate 'em, but I need them
Walk away, I walk away from you
Walk away, I walk away

[Chorus]
You tell me I'm a slave to the money, but I'm not
That everything I am can't be everything I got
Call me on my lies, say they're more than just a few (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don't know what it is, say I don't know who is who
Telling me if I don't wanna see no talk (I don't wanna see no)
There's never gonna be no talk
Say I gotta crawl before I learned to walk (Yeah)
So I walk away, I walk away from you

[Post-Chorus]
I love them, but I leave them
I don't know how to keep them
Walk away, I walk away, oh
I follow with my demons
I hate 'em, but I need them
Walk away, I walk away
I love them, but I leave them
I don't know how to keep them
Walk away, I walk away, oh
I follow with my demons
I hate 'em, but I need them
Walk away, I walk away from you, yeah
