Lyrics
I WALKED AWAY
SOME ARE CALLED TO STAND AND FIGHT
SOME ARE SENT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
NOT ME-
I WALKED AWAY-
HEROS MADE TO JUSTIFY
A LIFE OF TRUTH AND A LIFE OF LIES-
I SEE THAT AS A COMPROMISE
I WALKED AWAY-
OPENNED UP MY EYES-
I WALKED AWAY
CHORUS:
CROSSES TOO HEAVY
BURDENS TOO STRONG
I?M LOST AGAIN, I?M LOST AGAIN-
I?M ALWAYS READY TO SING YOU A SONG
BUT THE MUSIC WENT AWAY-
IF I THOUGHT I COULD I THINK I MIGHT
TEAR DOWN THESE WALLS AND SHED SOME LIGHT-
NOT ME-
I WALKED AWAY-
SYMPTOMS OF THE MAN INSIDE
VOICES OF A DREAM ALIVE
BUT YOU START TO CRITICIZE
I WALK AWAY
OPEN UP MY MIND
I WALKED AWAY
CHORUS:
CROSSES TOO HEAVY
BURDENS TOO STRONG
I?M LOST AGAIN, I?M LOST AGAIN-
I?M ALWAYS READY TO SING YOU A SONG
BUT THE MUSIC WENT AWAY-
THE PLAYERS JUST WON?T PLAY?
BRIDGE
CHORUS:
CROSSES TOO HEAVY
BURDENS TOO STRONG
I?M LOST AGAIN, I?M LOST AGAIN-
I?M ALWAYS READY TO SING YOU A SONG
BUT THE MUSIC WENT AWAY-
THE PLAYERS JUST WON?T PLAY-
MAYBE SOMEDAY, MAYBE SOMEDAY-
WHEN WE?VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY-
I WISH I HAD A SINGLE CLUE
SIMPLE ANSWERS FOR ME AND YOU
NOT ME-
I WALKED AWAY---
