walking away lyrics

The sun goes down as the city lights
Pave their way through the darkest night
Raindrops fall as an old man cries
Never thought to ever think twice

Of all he had, of all he lost
A selfish life and guess comes with the cost

Hey, remember me?
I remember you walking away
Hey, remember me?
I remember you walking away

Same old streets, just a different name
Same old house, just the family's changed
Pickett fence, the window stains
Freedom spells by a man in chains

The silence is all we have to give
And the memories of a life, I wish we'd lived

Hey, remember me?
I remember you walking away
Hey, remember me?
I remember you walking away

From all that you made
That you lost or threw away
Traded in for a brand new life
But I can't, can't let go, can't turn around
Hold my head high and walk away

Hey, remember me?
I remember you walking away
Hey, remember me?
I remember you walking away
