You learn to lead from your father
But you blamed yourself when he walked off
Sometimes you hold your child like the last one

Then you find yourself trying to stay gone

Rage is a game for the lonely

Love is the mercy we need

It's better than walkin' away

It's better than walkin' away
Sometimes it's harder to stay
Than walkin' away from it all


Holding hands at the table
A kiss goodnight with the light on

Sunrise, words and a coffee
You miss it all just to feel free


Fear is a thief to the family
Brave is the one on his knees


It's better than walkin' away
It's better than walkin' away
Love is the price that we pay

Walkin' away from it all

Rage is a game for the lonely

War is a front for our greed
Love makes a way but it only
Heals when we stay while we bleed


It's better than walkin' away
It's better than walkin' away

So many reasons to stay
So walk in and wait, for it all
