The English Beat - Walk Away Lyrics

Then she said
"If you ever try to lean on me too heavily
I'll step aside and watch you fall
We'll make each other look so small
Let's either find another way, or bang our
Heads into the wall, and walk away

[Chorus:]
Do you have to get this close before it hits?
You've always known just how much
People are a part of why
We've now not got the heart to say
I'll leave it, if you will
Let's walk away."

Thought it was different but it all
Turned out the same - so-so
Promised myself I'd never go through it again
Now that every love song beards the same
Familiar strain of...

Walk away before I do something stupid
Walk away before these threats turn into
One of us could do it

Walk away before I say
It's getting too much
Walk away, walk away
Before one of us cracks up

[Chorus]

Thought it was different but it all
Turned out the same - so-so
Promised myself I'd never go through this again
Now that every love song beards the same
Familiar strain of...

Walk away before I do something stupid
Walk away before these threats turn into
One of us could do it
It's getting too much
Walk away, walk away
Before both of us cracks up
Walk away, walk away
Oh, don't walk away
