Don't Walk Away
Slow Coming Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Way to go this time
You've done so good for yourself
And do you realize, there's consequences
For every single move that you made wrong?
And self acceptance comes from forgiveness

How long will you run from yourself
And keep pretending that everything?
Will just work out like you planned?
Just walk away

Simply betray
Everything that's been placed in your heart
Deep within your heart

And you're waking up in the middle of the night
Sweat pouring down your face
And still you wonder why images ring true
Strike like bullets to the flesh

And shaking with fear
You don't know what to do
You don't know what to do

How long will you run from yourself
And keep pretending that everything
Will just work out like you planned?
Just walk away

Simply betray
Everything that's been placed within your heart
Deep within your heart

Don't walk away from me
There's so much more to see
Don't walk away from me
There's so much more to see





Don't tell me, I'm wrong this time
Can't you see I'm stronger than that?
