Easier To Walk Away

Song byElton John
in AlbumEmpty Sky

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Every time you turn around

You wear another face

Every time I look away

I find a hiding place

If you knew me like you knew him

You would know just how I feel

Slipping through someone's fingers

Falling under someone's wheels

It's easier to walk away

Better off to face the facts

When love holds you up for ransom

Walk away and don't look back

Never seen you looking back through

Smiling eyes and tears

Never knew you holding on to

Memories and fears

Just release me I can't take it

Can't you see a change has come

Strangled by infatuation

Buried under someone's thumb

It's easier to walk away

Cover and fade to black

When love scars and leaves you branded

Walk away and don't look back

Every time you turn around

You wear another face

Every time I look away

I find a hiding place
