Don't Walk Away
Roberto Bates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeing his face,
Watching his walk
Feeling him near
The whole world stops turning
Words that were spoken
Are not enough
You're a moth to a flame
Don't walk away
Running won't stop
The passion within,
That keeps you here
Don't walk away
Running won't stop
The passion within,
That keeps you here
Eyeing his next move,
You'll stay close to him
You're listening to each sound
To every suggestion
Knowing you want him,
You're moving so close
He suddenly runs
And leaves you behind
Don't walk away
Running won't stop
The passion within,
That keeps you here
Don't walk away
Running won't stop
The passion within,
That keeps you here
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
