David woke up with a headache to fight

Couldn't remember the previous night too well

Drowning he fell

Twenty nine years from the date of his birth

With nothing to show but a folio worth a lot

The fine things he bought

And David's learning not to feel

Without a friend to help him heal

This time

Why don't you just walk away

This time

Why don't you just walk away

You live your life

While heroes cry, cry

Sandy got married while still in her teens

To a moneyed man who'd make her dreams come true

(lie number two)

She wants to believe that she made the right choice

But sometimes she finds that she's listening to the voice inside

So long denied

Now every day is harder still

With endless empty hours to fill

This time

Why don't you just walk away

This time

Why don't you just walk away

You live your life

While heroes cry, cry

David makes his whole world pay

And Sandy waits through one more day

This time

Why don't you just walk away

This time

Why don't you just walk away

You live your life

While heroes cry

Why don't you just walk away

This time

Why don't you just walk away

You live your life

While heroes cry

Why don't you just walk away

This time

Why don't you just walk away

You live your life...
