Don't Walk Away - Lyrics

Don’t walk away
See I just can’t find the right thing to say
I tried but all my pain gets in the way
Tell me what I have to do so you’ll stay
Should I get down on my knees and pray

[CHORUS 1]
And how can I stop losing you
How can I begin to say
When there’s nothing left to do but walk away

I close my eyes
Just to try and see you smile one more time
But it’s been so long now all I do is cry
Can’t we find some love to take this away
‘Cause the pain gets stronger every day

[CHORUS 2]
How can I begin again
How am I to understand
When there’s nothing left to do but walk away

See now why
All my dreams been broken
I don’t know where we’re going
Everything we said and all we done now
Don’t let go, I don’t wanna walk away
Now why
All my dreams been broken
Don’t know where we’re going
Everything begins to set us free
Can’t you see, I don’t wanna walk away

If you go, I won’t forget you girl
Can’t you see that you will always be
Even though I had to let you go
There’ nothing left to do
Don’t walk away

When loneliness, confusion and despair are the only certainties in a relationship, the only solution left is to walk away

God saw u getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around u and whispered come with me. With tearful eyes we watched and we saw u pass away. Although we love u dearly, we could not make u stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best

Invincible is the most mature and elaborated album of Michael!Disreguarded by media,this album found the way to all MJ'S fans,and that's mean all! Screw the media and critics-they don't hav a clue about apreciation the art and hard work,passion and love !All fans of the King must make they stand!

I say this song was done beautifully. Taking into account the meaning behind it, no other any other effects were needed. The lyrics and the softness of music alone is what made the song.

As the base drum begins, the song gets more interesting. Excellent lyrics. But it could get even more better with some added effects and instruments. 8/10

ever since hearing it for the first time, i've always thought the production is wrong for this wonderfully written and composed song. i don't particularly like the guitars or the drumming in it. it's a shame cos it's a meaningful and inspired tune..
