[Verse 1]
I told you I would come back home
I know you hate to be alone
Instead of kissing you goodnight I'm kissing strangers

Always listen but I'll never learn
Shoulda been hanging on your every word
I was taking you for granted never realized the danger

[Pre-Chorus]
And now I took too long
And now she's gone
If I only knew right from wrong
She'd be right back in my arms

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I know I can get so emotional
I'm grateful that you are someone to hold
But all these nights when I lie awake
Don't know how much more I can take
All that I know is sleeping next to me...

It's the sound of walking away
[Drop]
It's the sound of walking away
And I can finally breathe
It's the sound of walking away

[Pre-Chorus]
These are the moments
They keep me going
We lie in the silence
I keep my heart open

[Chorus]
I know I can get so emotional
I'm grateful that you are someone to hold
But all these nights when I lie awake
Don't know how much more I can take
All that I know is sleeping next to me...

It's the sound of walking away

[Drop]
And I can finally breathe
It's the sound of walking away
(Oh oh oh)
It's the sound of walking away
