Walk Away
"Little" Louie & Marc Anthony Lyrics

What do you do when you know something's bad for you And you still can't let go?
What is one supposed to do when they recognize the harmful effects of something in their life, but they have a difficult time giving it up?

I was naive Your love was like candy Artificially sweet I was deceived by the wrapping
I was inexperienced when it came to relationships, and your love seemed enticing and delightful, even though it was insincere and superficial on the surface.

Got caught in your web And I learned how to bleed I was prey in your bed And devoured completely
I fell under your spell and found myself vulnerable and hurt, becoming your victim in the process.

And it hurts my soul Cause I can't let go All these walls are caving in I can't stop my suffering I hate to show that I've lost control 'Cause I, I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from
This situation is causing me significant emotional pain because I am unable to free myself from it. I feel trapped and helpless and I am ashamed of my lack of control as I continue to return to the source of my problems.

I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away
I recognize that the only way to escape this harmful situation is to physically distance myself from you and avoid any contact with you.

I should have known I was used for amusement Couldn't see through the smoke It was all an illusion
I should have been more aware that you were only using me for your own entertainment and pleasure, but I was blind to the truth and didn't see through the facade you presented.

Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds) But the venom seeps deeper(deeper, deeper) We both can seduce But darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)
I have been attempting to heal from the damage you have caused, but the pain intensifies as I realize that we were both equally responsible for the seductive nature of our relationship. However, despite your role in this, I feel trapped and unable to break free.

I'm about to break I can't stop this ache I'm addicted to your allure And I'm fiendin' for a cure Every step I take Leads to one mistake I keep going right back To the one thing that I need
I am at my breaking point and cannot ignore the constant pain any longer. However, despite the harm it causes me, I am still drawn to your seductive charm and am desperate for a solution. Unfortunately, every attempt I make to distance myself from you only results in further errors and setbacks, leading me back to you.

I can't mend This torn state I'm in Getting nothing in return What did I do to deserve The pain of this slow burn And everywhere I turn I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I cannot fix the broken and distressed state that I am in, and I am not receiving any reciprocated feelings or benefits in return. I do not deserve the distress and suffering that this unbalanced relationship is causing me, yet I cannot find a way out of this seemingly interminable cycle.

Every time I try to grasp for air I get smothered in despair, it's never over, over Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare, I let out a silent prayer Let it be over, over
Every attempt I make to feel some sense of relief and freedom seems to fail, leaving me suffocating in a state of hopelessness and distress. It feels as though there is no way out and no end in sight, and I am constantly hoping for some relief or resolution.

Inside I'm screaming Begging, pleading No more
Internally, I am desperately craving for an end to this misery and torment, and begging to be freed from this turmoil.

I don't know what to do My heart has been bruised So sad but it's true Each beat reminds me of you
I feel lost and unsure of how to proceed, and my heart has been damaged and left in a state of hurt and vulnerability. Despite the sadness and pain you have caused me, I cannot escape the constant memory of you affecting every beat of my heart and every action I take.

I say I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away Only thing I need to do is walk away
I realize that the solution to my pain and torment is to leave you behind and walk away from this toxic relationship for good.

I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away
This sentiment is repeated multiple times throughout the song to emphasize the importance and urgency of leaving this situation behind and moving forward without you.
