If you walk away, I’ll walk away.
If you stand, I will listen, but it’s unnatural.
Oh, when we’re feeling that strong...
when the frozen winds are gone.
Why would you walk away? Why walk away?
Somewhere, they’ll bend the rules for someone...
If you hold the truth, why be confused?
Why play the white knight,
when the bluff is gonna burn you like a blue fire?
Yes, it’s cold if you’re going that far...
just to find some cratered heart.
Then you can walk away, but why walk away?
Although it smolders all through the night,
we’ve got the bruises from all the heights.
What could we do right, what would it feel like,
to put the means on top of your needs?
...to walk away...
If you walk away...why would you walk away?
Why walk away?
