I've tried putting a melody to this lyric, but it doesn't really work for me. Anyone want to collaborate?
Walk Away
I was born to be a liar
I was born to be a thief
Nothing more than a footprint in the sand
That the waves come washing over
And that slowly fade away
I hope one day that you will understand
That I tried a different melody
And I tried a different chord
But the tune I wrote just sounded out of key
And when the song was over
And the crowd looked at their feet
I knew that I could never change
And that I'd have to set you free.
Chorus:
Turn away, turn away, turn away
Leave me be, why won't you turn away
Walk away. walk away, walk away
Leave me be, just walk away
Well I was never on the right side
Cos I was always in the wrong
But no-one ever tried to understand
I just needed some attention
And when nothing came my way
I wrote it out in bold among the footprints in the sand
Wash away, wash away, wash away,
Leave me clean, why don't you wash away
Walk away, walk away, walk
Leave me be, why don't you wash away
Well I guess I'll hit the road again
And I'll drift from town to city
You said I never cared enough to change
Well with every step I take, my dear,
the pain just cuts me harder
I hope one day you'll realise how much it hurt to walk away
Walk away walk away, walk away
Leave me be, why don't you walk away
Walk away walk away, walk away
Leave me be, why can't you walk away
