Walk Away
Before you walk away…I’ve got something inside, something to say.
Didn’t have to turn out this way.
Now nothing will change…
Nothing will change…
Nothing will change what I say.
Before you walk away…
If there’s nothing the matter, then why all the sad tears?
You know what I’m gonna say.
I fell in love, heard you say…You’d never walk away…
Before you go…
Will you toss your head the way you did
And throw your arms about my neck?
And whisper lies…
Things I’ll believe until the day I die.
I’ll never think to question why
You’ll never go away… When I know nothing gold can stay.
That night beneath her beams we made the holiest of vows.
The moon reflected worlds within our tears that wet the ground.
And promises, they lingered, pleading soft and plaintive sounds
To never leave and never go… and never let your heart grow cold…
And never lose the ones we love…and never hate this life we chose…
And never, no--Don’t stop believing.
And never, no--Don’t stop loving.
Before you go…
Will you toss your head the way you did
And throw your arms about my neck?
And whisper lies…
Things I’ll believe until the day I die.
I’ll never think to question why
You’ll never go away… When I know nothing gold can stay.
Now that I’ve said all I have to say,
I've got to keep living, bear the pain of forgiving.
Guess it had to turn out this way.
Now nothing will change what I’ve said.
She gently tossed her head…
Then she turned and she walked away.
She turned and she walked away.
