You take a realistic view of things
you put less faith in your luck
and more in your own deeds
you are given a great deal of responsibility
I know, that I can depend on you
but I'm standing here for all the world to see
there ain't that much, not much is left of me
You told me to stay, but I walked away
and I can still hear what they say
you can walk away from anyone you ever knew well
but you can't walk away from yourself
I'm not a man who has never been insecure
about the world he is living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
but if you really need to be satisfied, I say:
"It should be easy for a man who's strong
to say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong"
I have never lost anything I ever missed
but I've never felt like this
I've never felt like this
You told me to stay, but I walked away
and I can still hear what they say
you can walk away from anyone you ever knew well
but you can't walk away from yourself
you put less faith in your luck
and more in your own deeds
you are given a great deal of responsibility
I know, that I can depend on you
but I'm standing here for all the world to see
there ain't that much, not much is left of me
You told me to stay, but I walked away
