Walk Away

Ben Harper · Live From Mars [2001]

Oh, no

Here comes that sun again

That means another day

Without you, my friend



And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself

And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else



And it's so hard to do

And so easy to say

But sometimes, sometimes

You just have to walk away

Walk away



So many people to love in my life

Why do I worry about one?

But'a you put the happi- in my -ness

You put the good times into my fun



And it's so hard to do

And so easy to say

But sometimes, sometimes

You just have to walk away

Walk away

And head for the door



We've tried the goodbyes

So many days

We walk in the same direction

So that we could never stray



They say if you love somebody

Then you have got to set them free

But I would rather be locked to you

Than live in this pain and misery



They say that time will make all this go away

But it's time that has taken my tomorrows

And turned them into yesterdays



And once again, that rising sun is a droppin' on down

And once again, you, my friend, are nowhere to be found



And it's so hard to do

And so easy to say

But sometimes, sometimes

You just have to walk away

Walk away

And head for the door



You just walk away

Walk away

Walk away



Just walk on, walk on

Turn and head for the door

You just walk away
