You were a face in the crowdI threw myself onto youI tried to take you awayI didn't know how to doBut I could not give you the mostSome things I said were never trueYet still we clung to a ghostI feel so bad you never knewI felt like you should know but I could not tell you soWhen you walked away I breathed your nameAs you walked awayAs you walked awayWe can never get back what we choose to throw awayWhen you walked away I breathed your nameAs you walked awayAs you walked awayWe can never get back what we choose to throw awayI don't know how to hold onto somethingThat seems determined to grow by the dayEvery time I think I can handleYou only seem to get further awayI never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to doFor a person like me to doWhen you walked away I breathed your nameAs you walked awayAs you walked awayWe can never get back what we choose to throw awayWhen you walked away I breathed your nameAs you walked awayAs you walked awayWe can never get back what we choose to throw awayI couldn't watch you wishing for somethingThat seemed more impossible by the dayAnytime I saw your expressionI only seemed to run farther awayI never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to doObsessed with thoughts that deformHeld on by hope too well wornCrippled because of dreams that eclipse realityCrashing into truths we don't perceiveWe don't perceiveI couldn't hold on to the things that mattered to youIt was my big mistakeThinking there were two roads to takeAs you walked away (as you walked away)As you walked away (as you walked away)As you walked away (as you walked away)As you walked awayAs you walked away
