When You Walk Away

When You Walk Away
You asked the time
Then you brushed my arm discreetly
And you held my gaze completely
As I said half past nine

And on the night bus
The stories you were telling
If it was a trap, I fell in
Imagining our life

But all the things that felt so good
Contained the seeds of what would feel so wrong
I'm waiting for the day
When you walk away

And for a year
Felt like something had a hold of us
A thousand things left half-discussed
All ideas and ideals

But then the cracks
Started to appear. If I want to
Do something you are not into
It isn’t an attack

Oh, all the things that felt so good
Contained the seeds of what would feel so wrong
I'm waiting for the day
When you walk away, away
When you walk away, away
And you never said you wouldn’t leave me

It's been a while
Books, CDs and art you gave to me
Is long read, listened to and seen
And lying in a pile

Oh I should sell
All of it on eBay, realise
The end of us, the end of lies
The ending of a spell

But all the things that felt so good
Contained the seeds of what would feel so wrong
I'm waiting for the day
When you walk away, away
When you walk away, away
And you never said you wouldn’t leave me
