Don't Walk Away
don't walk away
from the shadows
they tell the truth
in the silence
don't walk away
from the broken glass
it mirrors the pain
we try to forget
don't walk away
from the scars
they are maps
of where we've been
don't walk away
from the empty streets
they echo the loneliness
we carry inside
don't walk away
from the rain
it cleanses the soul
of all that remains
don't walk away
from the laughter
it's the fleeting joy
we desperately grasp
don't walk away
from the night
it holds the secrets
we dare not speak
don't walk away
from yourself
for in the end
you're all you have
