Lyrics

Franz Ferdinand — Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride

Said I'm strong now, I know that I'm a leader

I love the sound of you walking away

You walking away

Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh

And I am cold, yes, I'm cold

But not as cold as you are

“Walk Away” was last played on 13 April 2026 at La Carrière, Saint-Herblain.
