Only You Can Walk Away - Peter Himmelman
All my constraints have changed
and all the little games we clung to seem so strange
and all the reasons that turned you onto me
seem to have faultered
tell me where do we stand?
I'm done believing that the outcomes in my hands
I'm done believing that this whole world's mine
to hold for the asking...
only you can walk away
only you can walk away
from it now
only you can walk away
only you can walk away
from it now
is this message unclear?
perhaps if you would listen then you'd hear
you'd hear a tumbling of voices pleading
soft and somber
it's the raindrops you say
well maybe so, they always seem to fall that certain way...
much like the rhythm of the rocking chair
I spend all my time in
only you can walk away
only you can walk away
from it now
only you can walk away
only you can walk away
from it now
..I guess it's me that still don't know how
only Sundays can smile
and only something bad takes a little while
and all the kindness that I took for granted
blew away at 9:07
so raise your glasses to pain
that's the only one that wins out in the bitter end
it's not surrender it's just finding out
that were only human
only you can walk away
only you can walk away
from it now
only you can walk away
only you can walk away
from it now
I guess it's me that still don't know how
