Song lyrics

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said "I'm strong now I know that I'm a leader
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away"
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold, yes I'm cold, but not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away

Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away? No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away? Statues will not cry
Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold, I am old, at least as old as you are
Lalalalalala...

And as you walk away, and as you walk away
And as you walk away my headstone crumbles down
And as you walk away the Hollywood wind's a howl
And as you walk away the Kremlin's falling
And as you walk away Radio 4 is static
As you walk away, as you walk away, as you walk away

The stab of stiletto on a silent night,
Stalin smiles, Hitler laughs,
Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back...
