Jewel - Walk Away lyrics

I'll pretend I never kissed you, or held you, or worshipped you

I swear

I'll live in denial for as long as I live

Cuz *what I need baby, this love just can't give

We have to walk away

We have to walk away

I'll try not to sing, you'll try not to talk with those lips

We'll forget all the sweet memories, and now we'll just go with what

is

Cuz this love ain't loving, and I don't know why

But anything that stands so still can't be alive

We have to walk away

We have to walk away

[refrain]

But there were times our love was, so sweet

And it's *memory that makes me want to make it last

But you can't make love work, anymore than you can make it leave

And it's then you gotta leave it yourself

[refrain 2]

Cuz when love ain't loving but still ain't leaving

It's then you gotta leave it yourself

Now jealousy can ride your heart like a sick kind of pony

And envy's just the same

And your loneliness can consume you no matter how much love you had

And when it all boils down, baby, there's no other way

And I *care much more than to make you stay

We have to walk away

We have to walk away

So at night, when darkness fills me,

I'll pretend you never spoke my name

When I'm sitting home that lonely,

I'll pretend you're home and lonely, oh just the same

And I'll pretend this sorrow, this sorrow will pass

And I'll try to pretend that this loneliness wont last

And that I'll walk away

yeah, yeah, yeah

refrain

repeat

refrain 2

repeat

So don't say

So don't say I love you

I won't say that I care
