Walk Away
Amanda Carl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're staying strong, even though you feel alone
Maybe ask yourself why you feel so insecure
You think you want to leave but you're not really sure
Time will tell... otherwise
And you're trying to run, but still he's by your side
And you know that he loves you but still you want to hide
He wants you to be his whole world but you want another life
And its okay, cause you need to walk away
Say goodbye, finally let go from him
Just hold your breath, cause you'll keep sinking till you swim
Once he was your savior but now you can save yourself
Now you know what you have to do
And if it's right... time will tell
You're running through this race and you can't reach the end
Sometimes you only feel you've got one true friend
With every step you take the more your body feels numb
And before you know it you're done
