You take a realistic view of things
You put less faith in your luck
And more in your own deeds
You are given a great deal of responsibility
I know, that I can depend on you
But i'm standing here for all the world to see
There ain't that much, not much is left of me
Chorus:
You told me to stay, but I walked away
And I can still hear what they say
You can walk away from anyone you ever knew well
But you can't walk away from yourself
I'm not a man who has never been insecure
About th eworld he is living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you really need to be satisfied, I say:
"It should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong"
I have never lost anything I ever missed
But I've never felt like this
I've never felt like this
Chorus:
You told me to stay, but I walked away
And I can still hear what they say
You can walk away from anyone you ever knew well
But you can't walk away from yourself
