Only Way Out 歌词

Pull away to you In your best blue dress. Silos and rolling hills, Your eyes in brilliant focus. We learned how our bodies worked, Soft and familiar, But you couldn't shake the fear of Something so similar. You return to him 'Cos he reminds you of your father, And it helps you sleep at night And brings you comfort. I can't seem to throw away The letters or the pictures For some kind of truth Or proof that all of this really happened. If you would've tried, I would've tried. If commitment's what you wanted, I would've been the anchor by your side. If you would've stayed, Well, I would've stayed. But the only way to love you now Is to walk away. You walked bar to bar, A wicker basket held high, Selling roses to the drunkards, And I bought one every time. Stumble up the stairs, Hand in hand, up to the roof. Love is something that will lead you, Not something you can choose. So many years have passed Since all that wine. You're a mother now And how I bet you made a beautiful bride. I can't seem to throw away The letters or the pictures For some kind of truth Or proof that all of this really happened. If you would've tried, I would've tried. If commitment's what you wanted, I would've been the anchor by your side. If you would've stayed, Well, I would've stayed. But the only way to love you now Is to walk away. If you would've prayed... O, how I did pray. But the only way to love something Is to give it away.
