Easier To Walk Away

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Released as a uk single in 1990



Every time you turn around

You wear another face

Every time i look away

I find a hiding place



If you knew me like you knew him

You would know just how i feel

Slipping through someone's fingers

Falling under someone's wheels





It's easier to walk away

Better off to face the facts

When love holds you up for ransom

Walk away and don't look back





Never seen you looking back through

Smiling eyes and tears

Never knew you holding on to

Memories and fears





Just release me i can't take it

Can't you see a change has come

Strangled by infatuation

Buried under someone's thumb





It's easier to walk away

Cover and fade to black

When love scars and leaves you branded

Walk away and don't look back





Every time you turn around

You wear another face

Every time i look away

I find a hiding place
