[Verse 1]
Man: I see the dust trail rising in the fading sun
Woman: Your shadow lingers but I know I gotta run
Man: This road’s too rough for the both of us to stay
Together: Sometimes love means you have to walk away
[Chorus]
Together: Broken trails and shattered dreams
Man: Love ain't always what it seems
Woman: I’ll keep you safe if I’m not near
Together: We’ll save each other through these tears
[Verse 2]
Woman: Your voice still echoes in the canyon deep
Man: Your name’s the only prayer I’ll ever keep
Woman: The world’s too cruel
It don’t want us to win
Man: So I’ll ride away to save you from my sin
[Chorus]
Together: Broken trails and shattered dreams
Man: Love ain't always what it seems
Woman: I’ll keep you safe if I’m not near
Together: We’ll save each other through these tears
[Bridge]
Man: Every mile feels like a dagger in my side
Woman: Every step I take
My heart’s along for the ride
Man: But this is the cost of keeping you free
Woman: The weight of love
It’s heavy on me
[Verse 3[Verse 1: Male]
The moonlight fades but I still see your face
In the shadowed glow of this lonesome place
Your heart’s my home but I can't stay near
I’ll break your world if I linger here
[Verse 2: Female]
Your footsteps echo in my fragile chest
Each step you take tears apart the rest
But I can’t hold you I can’t make you stay
Loving you means I must walk away
[Chorus: Both]
Two broken trails in the desert sand
Drifting apart though we long to stand
Back to back but the road’s too steep
Loving you means love I can't keep
[Verse 3: Male]
The law is near and my hands are stained
Your heart’s too pure for this outlaw’s chain
The wind whispers secrets I cannot bear
Every mile between us cuts like despair
[Verse 4: Female]
I’ll carry your name like a brand on my soul
But freedom for you is my only goal
I’ll hide my tears in the morning’s dew
But walking away is my love for you
[Bridge: Both]
The stars above know the price we pay
To save each other we must stray
Two hearts bound but torn apart
A sacrifice of the purest heart
Woman: If the stars align
We’ll meet again someday
Man: Until then I’ll pray for you every single day
Woman: This goodbye hurts but it’s the only way
Together: To save your heart
I’ll choose to walk away
