You were closer than a friend
Close like no one's ever been
And to think right now, this is how you feel
But as the drinks go in, the truth comes out

You tell me I'm a slave to the money, but I'm not
That everything I am can be everything I got
Call me on my lies, say they're more than just a few
Don't know what it is, say I don't know who is who
Telling me if I don't wanna see no talk
There's never gonna be no talk
Say I gotta crawl before I learn to walk
So I walk away, I walk away from you

Now you've ended up like most
Like all the rest who came too close
Don't want anyone-one to come
Between me, myself, and my demons, oh

You tell me I'm a slave to the money, but I'm not
That everything I am can't be everything I got
Call me on my line, say I'm more than just a few
Call me on my lies, say they're more than just a few
Telling me if I don't wanna see no talk
There's never gonna be no talk
Say I gotta crawl before I learned to walk
So I walk away, I walk away from you

I love them, but I leave them
I don't know how to keep them
Walk away, I walk away, oh
I follow with my demons
I hate 'em, but I need them
Walk away, I walk away
I love them, but I leave them
I don't know how to keep them
Walk away, I walk away, oh
I follow with my demons
I hate 'em, but I need them
Walk away, I walk away from you
Walk away, I walk away

You tell me I'm a slave to the money, but I'm not
That everything I am can't be everything I got
Call me on my lies, say they're more than just a few (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don't know what it is, say I don't know who is who
Telling me if I don't wanna see no talk (I don't wanna see no)
There's never gonna be no talk
Say I gotta crawl before I learned to walk (yeah)
So I walk away, I walk away from you

I love them, but I leave them
I don't know how to keep them
Walk away, I walk away, oh
I follow with my demons
I hate 'em, but I need them
Walk away, I walk away
I love them, but I leave them
I don't know how to keep them
Walk away, I walk away, oh
I follow with my demons
I hate 'em, but I need them
Walk away, I walk away from you, yeah
