walking away

Sun goes down As the city lights Pave their way Through the darkest nights Rain drops fall As an old man cries Never thought To ever think twice Of all he had Of all he lost A selfish life I guess Comes with a cost Hey remember me, I remember you walking away Hey remember me, I remember you walking away Same old street Just a different name Same old house Just the family's changed Picket fence The windows stained Freedom spelled By a man in chains The silence Is all we have to give And memories of a life That I wished we lived Hey remember me, I remember you walking away Hey remember me, I remember you walking away From all that you made That you lost Or threw away Trade it in for a brand new life But I can't Can't let go Can't turn around Hold my head high And walk away Hey remember me, I remember you walking away Hey remember me, I remember you walking away
