Annex - Don't Walk Away Lyrics

At birth you gave us a gift
With your words opened bridges to bliss
And if my words could have had any effect I'd tell you then what I'm wishing now
Don't walk away
Stay just for today
Don't walk away
And make memories stay in yesterday

But I'll keep the lights on
If you promise you'll come home

But what if I just hid you under the fence
And what if we escaped to safer lands
And what if you joined on a different brigade, would that have changed what happened yesterday
I'm wondering now if faith is to blame
But fate blames faith every time, I'll see you in my head every night

Heavy fire drowned your voice out
As you stared them down, a Samson in Somme
No last rites, no goodbyes
Just a drop in a trench in an old countryside

Drift away
Stay just for today
Don't die today
I've kept you here with me since yesterday

All I know is I'm barely hanging by a thread
Life's below, your death my deadweight now
So please don't hold me down
No please don't hold me down
Just please don't hold me down
No please don't hold me down
