Don't Walk Away Lyrics

In the fields where I saw you first
Rising like the sun
I saw it setting in your eyes
Take my hand, let's run

To the land our fathers built
Washed in their blood
For this life I'd give up
To stand in your love

I've waited all my life
To know you in this way
I've waited all my life
I ask and I pray

Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

In the distance I heard you cry
For me to come home
Even though I'm a thousand miles
You're not alone

And to the land our fathers built
Bricks in their hands
For this life I'd give up
To stand as your man

I've waited all my life
To know you in this way
I've waited all my life
I ask and I pray

Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

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.

I think it's a song of heartbreak. To me, this album seems to revolve around one girl. I think he had to leave her because it was for the best but still hard to stay apart.
