Looking at my face in a photograph
I was only 17
Been a long time since we looked like that
But you're the same boy standing by me
So I close my eyes in thoughts of you
Thinking it might be through
But I got my pride though I'm alone tonight
Do you remember when we said I do

And I won't be the one who walks away
I won't be the one who fades
I won't be the one who walks away
I won't be the one who pains

Standing in the rain as they lowered the flag
Wondering where the spirit was bound
Thinking I could never feel this lost again
But that was then and this is now
Oh I just wanted you to know I won't let go
I'll be here if you still want me
Standing in the shadows on the unlit side
Where the lost souls are being set free

And I won't be the one who walks away
I won't be the one who fades
No I won't be the one who walks away
I won't be the one who pains

I won't be the one who walks away
I won't be the one who fades
No I won't be the one who walks away
I won't be the one who pains
