A wet tear runs down my cheek
You wipe it away and softly speak...
Caressing my hair
Your whispers tickle my ear,
I hold you close,
I pull you near.
Your lips brush mine
Our bodies entwine
I want us to be forever fine...
But I know it hurts, love is so
That once it's got you
You can't let go,
And when it drops you, like a stone,
You're lost and completely alone.
You hurt so much, the pain is severe,
That when you try and love someone else
That's all you fear.
To take the risk is a great cost,
To let you go is an even bigger loss...
But I can't chance it, my love knows so
Once I walk away, back I can't go.
If I leave you now
At least I'll know
That the love hadn't hurt me, it wasn't so.
This I must do, before it makes me fall,
As I walk away from love's sweet call.
It's bad for you,
Even worse for me,
That us together we can't be.
I walk away, the pain from above
Hits me as suddenly as the thing of love.
Knowing you won't be in my life
Is something I know will never be right.
But as the hands of fate give me an almighty shove
I know I'm scared which is why
I'm walking away from love.
