It Takes a Man to Walk Away

Daybreak is calling me, touching me, healing me
She’s seen my fear of the night
Who knows my pain, all the hurt, all my soul searchin'
Day comes and she makes it right
In every life there’s a moment when a man has to look at himself
And come that day he’d better like what he sees

When the best of love has gone it’s a fool who carries on
It takes a man to walk away
When you know she’s telling lies and the tears come to her eyes
It takes a man to walk away

Softly then she touches me, reaching the love in me
Making all the wrong she does seem right
She knows how to satisfy with each and every lie
If I could I’d walk away this night
I was told “men don’t cry”, I’ve learned it’s something you can’t justify
‘Cos now I know better, time has taught me why

When the best of love has gone it’s a fool who carries on
But it takes a man to walk away
There’s nobody in this world who’s got the soul to keep them so strong
As a man who’s learned to walk away

This woman, she tried to take my dream
With a passion like I’d never seen
Showed me Heaven, took me to Hell
I learned my lesson, I learned it well

Any fool can stand and fight but in his heart, when he knows he’s right
It takes a man to walk away
When the best of love has gone it’s a fool who carries on
But it takes a man to walk away
There’s nobody in this world who’s got the soul to keep them strong – There’s nobody in this world who’s got the soul to keep it so strong
As a man who’s learned to walk away – who’s learned to walk away
