  • You walked away in silence
    You walked away to breathe
    Stopped and turned around to say goodbye to me
    I'm pleading as you're leaving I'm begging you to stay
    I'm not the man I used to be, I've changed
    I'm not the man I used to be, I've changed

    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    If my life is the price, then my life it will cost
    Now that I'm picking up the pieces see the pain that I have caused
    It's hard to believe in someone you thought was lost
    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    Don't you walk away in silence

    In tears you counted reasons
    Tears covered you it seemed
    Face down screaming, God help me please
    I'm pleading as you're leaving I'm begging you to stay
    I'm not the man I used to be, I've changed
    I'm not the man I used to be, I've changed

    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    If my life is the price, then my life it will cost
    It will cost my life
    Now that I'm picking up the pieces see the pain that I have caused
    It's hard to believe in someone you thought was lost
    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    Don't you walk away in silence
    Please come back to me
    Don't you walk away in silence
    I'm not the man I used to be!

    Well I pray that tomorrow you'll be home
    We can rebuild and forever we can go on
    Go on, and go on
    We can go on, well I pray that tomorrow you'll be home
    Look at horizons and let the light bring you home (home), bring you home

    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    If my life is the price, then my life it will cost
    It will cost my life
    Now that I'm picking up the pieces see the pain that I have caused
    It's hard to believe in someone you thought was lost
    Don't give up on us, don't give up on love
    Don't walk away in silence
    Please don't walk away
    Don't walk away in silence
    I'm not the man I used to be! Writer/s: Mark T. Tremonti, Scott Stapp
