[Verse 1] The last thing I recall was a question in my head Some things we said don’t make any sense I can make myself real small, pretend I’m somewhere else Leave you for a moment, but there’s no escape from myself [Pre-Chorus 1] I wake up with sunlight in my eyes And finally as the sleep clears from my mind And once again, I realize you still got nothing left to say Except fall back on “I love you” [Chorus] Just ’cause you say, just ’cause you say There’s too much water on the flames You can’t break into what remains Oh darling, waaalk away (Walk away) Just ’cause you say, just ’cause you say You love me, that don’t make it true Because I’ll never see the proof And we should waaalk away (Just walk away) [Post-Chorus] And we should waaalk away (Just waaalk away)
[Verse 2] I can ask you, “How’s your day?” I can sit with practiced warmth Then we’ll lie down again in this bed of thorns [Pre-Chorus 2] And we cross paths like ghosts in the hallway This beauty that I don’t see, the beauty in before me An example of a flower that’s faded We’re crazy to use phrases like “I love you” (love you, love you) [Chorus] Just ’cause you say, just ’cause you say There’s too much water on the flames You can’t break into what remains Oh darling, waaalk away Just ’cause you say, just ’cause you say You love me, that don’t make it true Because I’ll never see the proof And we should waaalk away (Just walk away) [Post-Chorus] And we should waaalk away (Just waaalk away) And we should waaalk away (Just waaalk away)
