[Verse 1]
It's easy to get lost when you found freedom
Seems like you've been cast into the wild
I can see the story on your lipstick, girl
It's been awhile since I have seen you smile

[Verse 2]
The way the rain collects around your shoulders
You look like an angel in the gray
No one needs to hear this more than you do, girl
I won't be the one to walk away

[Chorus]
Walk away, I won't walk away
There's a truth that you need to hear me say
I'll be here on your darkest day
No one said it's easier to stay
But I won't be the one to walk away

[Verse 3]
Keep myself together for you, baby
I'll be here if you should fall apart
Put you back together, little daydreamer
Take the time to mend your only heart

[Chorus]
Walk away, I won't walk away
There's a truth that you need to hear me say
I'll be here on your darkest day
No one said it's easier to stay
But I won't be the one to walk away

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1, Reprise]
It's easy to get lost when you found freedom
Seems like you've been cast into the wild
I can see the story on your lipstick, girl
It's been a while since I have seen you smile

[Chorus]
Walk away, I won't walk away
There's a truth that you need to hear me say
I'll be here on your darkest day
No one said it's easier to stay
But I won't be the one to walk away

[Outro]
And I won't be the one to walk away

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
