I Walk Away Lyrics - Singles - Voxtrot

Don't you look better when you're under the gun, 

I never pulled the trigger, I'm not a man 

But I'm hard enough to stand and watch your colours go pale 

I wanted all these things to bleed into one 

And make the kind of stories you read in books 

With bad habits and good looks and all the trappings of fame. 

Oh write me some old story about my lazy coy routine 

I find a million ways to waste the day and suffer 

No I have never had you but I've heard such dirty things 

And every single time I walk away 

I suffer 

I trace the pavement till the headache of dawn 

And leave the trail of curses laid out in songs 

The old charm just lingers on, so much like history's bad seed 

And this is how we make good use of our time 

To measure up the days in comfortable crime 

If your skin's so hard to find, why don't you stand still and bleed? 

Oh write me some old story about my lazy coy routine 

I find a million ways to waste the day and suffer 

No I have never had you but I've heard such dirty things 

Still every single time I walk away 

I suffer 

And if you looked at me that way all the time 

I would fall out of love with you any day 

Because honey that's the way your mother looked at your dad 

Don't try and tell me this is something divine 

It's just a piece of joy that clings to a line 

And it separates my time from something I never had 

You said immerse yourself in culture 

Kid or you'll wake up alone 

Middle-class concubine oh nevermind, 

You never had the glitz to shine 

No I have never had you but I've heard such dirty things 

And every single time I walk away 

I suffer 

All over again 

It starts all over again 

It start all over again 

It starts all over again 

It start all over again 

Start start start 

It starts all over again 

Start start start 

It starts all over again 

Start start start start
