Lyrics
Walking Away
And now you?ve seen the man behind the curtain
Erasing things that you knew for certain
You?re still here and you?re still clear that you know what you want
Smoke and mirrors, moving pictures
Words to say and words to leave out
Overstatements and promises
I make them with the intention to break them
But you?re not walking away from the faces I?ve put on
Now I?m afraid it?s been this long and you?re not gone
It?s easy to say just go away
It?s easy to play this same old game
Where I know how it ends and I see you again
Walking Away ?
Brazen beauty demanding my attention
Chasing castles, trying to find a way in
You took the ride and shined your light in the place I was hiding
Ashamed of all the mines I made you walk through
I?ll make it up, if you?ll let me talk through
The reasons I guard my solitude
Honey on my lips, eclipse of a long night
But you?re not walking away from the faces I?ve put on
Now I?m afraid it?s been this long and you?re not gone
It?s easy to say just go away
It?s easy to play this same old game
Where I know how it ends and I see you again
Walking Away ?
