it's not that i don't love you

you know how much i do

and it's not that i've found somebody

to take the place of you

but it's just the fear within me

when you hold my hands

and the fear that shakes my body

and i don't understand

so i'm leaving

no

this time i'm playing it smart

i'm gonna walk away from love

walk away from love

before love breaks my heart

i'm gonna walk away from love

i'm gonna walk away from love

you'll cling to me tighter

tighter than you have before

but you know it's gonna take everything

to stop me walking out the door

see your arms that you've got around me

might let me go someday

so i'd rather to leave them holding on

than pushing me away

so i'm leaving

yes

this time i'm playing it smart

i'm gonna walk away from love

walk away from love

before love breaks my heart

i'm gonna walk away from love

i'm gonna walk away from love
