"Baby Don't Walk Away" - Southern Wild Roses

Baby Don’t Walk Away

I know these times have been hard on us,
Lord, they haven’t been much fun,
I don’t blame you for another pull
From that bottle of rum.
I take one more hit before you leave,
Try to slow this coming pain,
Yeah, I see it in your eyes tonight,
Baby, you’re gonna walk away.

I wake up in the middle of the night,
Reach out and you’re not there,
Nothing feels brighter without your love,
Just empty rooms and prayers.
Life feels heavy, not worth much lately,
So I hide beneath these covers and pray,
Yeah, I knew it was coming sooner or later,
Baby, you were gonna walk away.

Baby don’t walk away when you wanna run,
Let’s fight this out ‘til the morning comes,
I know this town and I’ve held you down,
But I swear to God I’ll change somehow.
Let’s lay our weapons on the ground,
Say kinder words, don’t burn it down,
Tomorrow’s waiting just one more day,
Please baby, don’t walk away.

I stumbled and fell, I won’t deny it,
Wasn’t always the man you needed then,
But I gave you everything inside me,
Every piece I had to spend.
We both did wrong, I know it’s true,
But I don’t know why this has to end,
Still I see it written on your face,
Baby, you’re gonna walk away.

What can I do, what can I say,
To make you stay instead of leaving today?
The rain’s coming down, the sky’s gone gray,
But you’d bring the sun if you’d just stay.
I can’t promise I’ll change overnight,
But I’ll give you the best of who I am,
I pray I’m not the monster in my head,
Just a broken man reaching out his hand.

Baby don’t walk away when you wanna run,
Let’s fight this out ‘til the morning comes,
I know this town and I’ve held you down,
But I swear to God I’ll change somehow.
Let’s lay our weapons on the ground,
Say kinder words, don’t burn it down,
Tomorrow’s waiting just one more day,
Baby why’d you have to walk away?
