Lyrics Easier to Walk Away (1990 Recording) - Elton John

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
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
