Won't Walk Away

(album: Because They Can - 1995)

Though I try, I can't decide
Won't walk away, walk away from you
Whoa, from you

The tears pour down in the nights spent awake
Salvation in sleep always seems to escape
I look down at your picture in pieces thrown across my room
The future was hidden in the cards we were dealt
How could you cheat on the love that I felt?
I sink my head in my pillow, confused about what I'll do about you

Though I try, I can't decide
Won't walk away, walk away from you
Whoa, from you
Can't you see what you mean to me
Won't walk away, walk away from you
Whoa, from you

I can't see an end to the pain that I'm in
The alibis you handed me seemed mighty thin
Clear the lump from my throat, read your letter just one more time
I haven't been asleep for a week 'cause it seems
That I can't close my eyes, you're there in my dreams
I throw your number in the trash, confused about what I'll do about you

Though I try, I can't decide
Won't walk away, walk away from you
Whoa, from you
Can't you see what you mean to me
Won't walk away, walk away from you
Whoa, from you

Addicted to your love like a martyr is to pain
Like a sinner craves a vice and a drug need a vein
Am I giving you the blade and begging you to run me through?
Well, I'm the type of man who believes in the fight
I know what is wrong and I'd die for what's right
I'll make you understand if it's the last thing I do
Whoa, that I love you

Though I try, I can't decide
Won't walk away, walk away from you
Whoa, from you
Can't you see what you mean to me
Won't walk away, walk away from you
Whoa, from you

No, I just can't walk away, walk away from you
Though I try, I just can't walk away, walk away from you
No, I just can't walk away, (I just can't walk away)
Walk away from you
Though I try, (yeah) I just can't walk away
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't live without you by my side now, babe
