Walking Away Lyrics

If you just listen to reason
We would not have to break up
Guess I'm your knight in grimy armor
You're my winter buttercup

Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Ain't I the man that you thought I'd be

I know I'm a moody bastard
Selfish sack of flesh and bone
But is it really all that bad for you
Would you be happy all alone

Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Ain't I the man that you thought I'd be

You know I never want to hurt you
I never tried to keep you down
But if you should change your mind dear
You know I'll be hanging around

Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Ain't I the man that you thought I'd be

Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Ain't I the man that you thought I'd be

You thought I'd be
Thought I'd be
Thought I'd be
Thought I'd be

If you just listen to reason
We would not have to break up
Guess I'm your knight in grimy armor
You're my winter buttercup

Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Ain't I the man that you thought I'd be

I know I'm a moody bastard
Selfish sack of flesh and bone
But is it really all that bad for you
Would you be happy all alone

Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Ain't I the man that you thought I'd be

You know I never want to hurt you
I never tried to keep you down
But if you should change your mind dear
You know I'll be hanging around

Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Ain't I the man that you thought I'd be

Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Why are you walking away from me
Ain't I the man that you thought I'd be

You thought I'd be
Thought I'd be
Thought I'd be
Thought I'd be

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Bored out of my mind and watched the show "Brimstone" one afternoon. Was totally blown away by this song.
