Badly Drawn Boy - I Saw You Walk Away

I Saw You Walk Away Lyrics

You're not alone, I'm not alone
maybe we're together
said we'd stay together
through any kind of weather

I've seen the rain coming down
and the snow fall on your eyes
I've seen the sun pouring shapes
through your window a thousand times

you see life in moments
I know I've got nowhere to hide
but I can see your face in mine
and you'll be coming back

but for the first time it feels real
since the day I saw you walk away
from my head down to my shoulders
feels numb

and for the first time I can feel
how it felt to watch you walk away
from the ground up to my shoulders
feels numb

if I don't crucify myself, somebody will
if I don't do this thing myself, nobody will
and how could you say
that I don't wanna live?.. I wanna live
the time that you waste
turns into memories
and they fade, fade away

and I'm alone, there's not a soul
and no-one to remind me
tell me you will find me
put this all behind me

it's not a feeling I've known
or one that I could find
if I could find you, if only to tell you
I'm losing my mind

you see life in moments
I know I could run out of time
but I can see your face in mine
and it's beautiful

for the first time it feels real
since the day I saw you walk away
from my head down to my shoulders
feels numb

and for the first time I can feel
how it felt to watch you walk away
from the ground up to my shoulders
feels numb

if I don't crucify myself, somebody will
if I don't do this thing myself, nobody will
and how could you say
I don't wanna live?.. I wanna live
the time that you waste
turns into memories
and they fade, fade away
