From the recording Dont Walk Away
A song about a man who is begging his girl to not leave him.
Lyrics
[Intro]
(Soft falsetto, harmonized)
Mmm, yeah…
Late night rain on my window pane…
Still feels like you’re slipping away…
[Verse 1]
You said love’s supposed to feel like fire,
But all I feel now is the smoke.
I gave you my truth, my heart, my choir,
You’re the only song I ever wrote.
Now you’re packing up the silence,
Like it don’t hurt to let it go.
But baby, what about the promise?
What about forever, don't you know?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I made mistakes (I did)
But we’re worth the heart it takes
Before you close that door, just say—
Do you still feel love when you hear my name?
[Chorus]
Don’t walk away (no, no)
Don’t throw this love away
We been through too much, baby
To let it fade in the rain
You’re the light in my dark
The beat of my heart
Don’t let us fall apart
Please… don’t walk away
[Verse 2]
I remember your laugh in the kitchen
You dancing with no music playin’
Now it’s just me and the dishes
And echoes of you not stayin’
I’m not too proud to say I’m broken
Not too cold to beg you back
Girl, this ain’t just a love we spoke in—
This was real. That’s a fact.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I lost your trust (I did)
But I swear I’m strong enough
Before you drive away tonight—
Please tell me love’s still in your touch...
[Chorus]
Don’t walk away (oh no)
Don’t let the good slip away
We’re fire and soul, baby
Not meant to end this way
You’re the truth in my lies
The stars in my sky
Don’t leave without goodbye
Please… don’t walk away
[Bridge]
(Soft, almost whispered)
If you go now, what happens to the dreams?
The babies, the wedding, the shared in-betweens?
You said "always," and I believed...
Baby, don’t leave...
[Final Chorus]
Don’t walk away (stay with me)
Don’t throw us all away
Girl, I’ll do whatever,
Just tell me you feel the same
You’re my reason to breathe
My soul when I sing
You’re my everything
Please... don’t wlk away
[Outro]
(Don’t... walk... away...)
(You’re all I need…)
(Say you’ll stay… say you’ll stay…)
