            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 I swapped my innocence for pride 
Crushed the end within my stride 
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver' 
I love the sound of you walking away 
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear 
And I am cold 
Yes I'm cold 
But not as cold as you are 
I love the sound of you walking away 
Why don't you walk away? 
No buildings will fall down 
Why don't you walk away? 
No quake will split the ground 
Why don't you walk away? 
The sun won't swallow the sky 
Why don't you walk away? 
Statues will not cry 
I cannot turn to see those eyes 
As apologies may rise 
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever 
And love the sound of you walking away 
Mascara bleeds into my eye 
I'm not cold 
I am old 
At least as old as you are 
As you walk away 
And as you walk away 
My headstone crumbles down 
As you walk away 
The hollywood wind's a howl 
As you walk away 
The kremlin's falling 
As you walk away 
Radio 4 is static 
As you walk away 
The stab of stiletto 
On a silent night 
Stalin smiles 
Hitler laughs 
Churchill claps 
Mao tse-tung 
On the back
