I Walk Away
I walk away
when times begin too weigh
heavily upon my shoulders
I turn a cold eye
even when those I love cry
and pretend the guilt that follows me
is nothing more than a dream
If God would curse me
and the devil welcome me
then I'll bear the consequence
of cowardice that plague my every day
But I'll still always walk away
My soul wears away
every time you ask me to stay
peace was all I asked for
but pain was all that came
its no trouble for me
to just walk away
