Walk Away
Amanda Wilkinson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to say that we were, cut from the same cloth
Ticking on the same clock
Something fine
You used to say no fire
Could burn as hot as us
Now your saying goodbye

You used to say that we were beautiful and timeless
We were one of a kind
And we were more then right
I heard you say I was the only one who really moved you
Now your saying goodbye

(Chorus)
Walk away now baby walk away
Walk away if youâ??ve changed your mind
Walk away now baby walk away
Walk away if it was all a lie

You used to say we were the, ones who would make it
Yea the ones dedicated
Ones to share this life
I heard you say a thousand times youâ??d always love me
Now your saying goodbye

(Chorus)
Walk away now baby walk away,
Pretend you never said that you were mine
Walk away now baby walk away
Walk away if it was all a lie

You canâ??t tell me all those words werenâ??t anything but something true
Didnâ??t you say that we were
Cut from the same clothe
Ticking on the same clock
Something fine
Didnâ??t you say that no fire
Ever burned as hot as us
Now your saying goodbye

(Chorus)
Walk away now baby walk away
Pretend that you never said that you were mine
Walk away now baby walk away
Walk away if youâ??ve changed your mind





Walk away now baby walk away
Walk away if it was all a lie

Overall Meaning

In Amanda Wilkinson's song "Walk Away," the lyrics tell the story of a woman who is puzzled and hurt by her partner's sudden detachment.

She confronts him with the memories of their love, pleading for him to stay and reconcile with her, but he still chooses to leave. The verses are full of contrast, going from beautiful and timeless to ugly and deceitful. The chorus emphasises the need to walk away if the promises given were nothing but a lie.
