How can you walk away from me?
Now your face I'll no longer see.
You're embedded so deeply inside my heart,
I can't believe you want to be apart.

I'll still love you, tho' you walk away.
Inside my heart you will always stay.
Please once more, look into my eyes,
Kiss me one last time, before saying 'Good-bye.'

How can you ask this of me
When you said that you were tired of me
You know I cherish the ground
Upon which you tread

I am doing you a favor as I walk away
You will always own this heart of mine
Your eyes, your words betray
You no longer care for this old heart of mine
Oh, but you are so wrong,
I spoke those words in anger.
I didn't mean them, forgive me please.
I was so upset, that you were angry.

It will not be a favor to me,
To watch you leave.
I do want your heart,
If you take it away, I'll fall apart.
Words, whether spoken in angry or not
Cut so very deep and once spoken
can't be brought back or erased
and always leave a nasty taste

The favor I do for you is to take away
the misery i have caused in your life
so it is best that i walk away
into the mists of extinction

I’ve hurt you deeply, that I now see.
But being apart is going to destroy me.
I see that leaving is what you feel you need to do.
But before you go, please, take my heart with you.

I won’t need it anymore,
It will never beat as before.
As I watch you leave,
I am loving you, hoping you return to me.

Why can't you see
that I don't fit into your world
that you would be better off with out me
in time the pain will cease and I will be
just a memory

How Could You Walk Away?
