There’s a man at my door
And he’s definitely not smiling
Think I slept on the floor
And my head is still spiraling
There’s a taste in my mouth
Like I tried hard to get over you
Well the man says, “One month.”
“No more warnings. It’s judgment day.”
I throw a punch
But he’s already walked away
I have to laugh
It’s the same way
That I fought for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, halelu Yeah, yeah, halelu For this fool
As I look in the mirror
And the razor is right there
At the pulse on my neck
And I feel like I don’t care
With the greatest of ease
I could cut to the heart of this song
I would turn back the time
I would stand up and conquer
Every heart every mind
Tell them I am no longer
Just a fool who let go
Just a fool who thought he’d carry on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, halelu Yeah, yeah, halelu For this fool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, halelu Yeah, yeah, halelu For this fool
For this fool, yeah Oh, such a fool

I can be the, you can be the
We can be the victims of the
Apathy that comes around
To kill a love eventually
Used to be a part of me
That wanted to be here with you forever
Now we stand around
And find it’s hard to even talk about the weather
As love just walks away
I can be the, you can be the
We can be the ones who go
Never gonna mend it
Might as well just start to let it go
Take a look around
And pretty soon you think you’ve found
A grass that’s greener
Take a little nibble and convince yourself
It’s just a misdemeanor
As love just walks away
We don’t know why We don’t know where But we know when love just walks away Some might not care Some might despair But we know when love just walks away
I can be the, you can be the
We can be the ones who see
Both of us are innocent
Love can take the guilty plea
Talks so damn convincingly
Telling us there’d never be another
Then one day you wake up, look into your heart
And you discover
Some love just walks away
We don’t know why We don’t know where But we know when love just walks away Some might not care Some might despair But we know when love just walks away
Pistol in my pocket used to be so hard
Crawling through the passion with you yard by yard
Now it’s just a memory
Distant piece of history forgotten
Nothing left to salvage when the ship is going down
And you hit bottom
As love just walks away
We don’t know why We don’t know where But we know when love just walks away Some might not care Some might despair But we know when love just walks away
Used to be a part of me
That wanted to be here with you forever
Now we stand around
And find it’s hard to even talk about the weather
As love just walks away
We don’t know why We don’t know where But we know when love just walks away Some might not care Some might despair But we know when love just walks away We don’t know why But we know when love walks away
