Walk Away
Black Veil Brides Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now our lives have changed, I wish that I could heal
Time has taken love, a darker side revealed
For every lie begins, with what we used to feel

Whoa
Blaming myself, tied to these chains and living in pain
Whoa
All of your tears, everything's gone, is it too late?
Walk away

(Oh) a lonely heart remains, until we know the truth
(Oh) but if it stays the same, can we make it through?
(Oh) a life without the hurt, a life without you

Whoa
Blaming myself, tied to these chains and living in pain
Whoa
All of your tears, everything's gone, is it too late?
Walk away
Everything's gone, everything's gone

Whoa
Blaming myself, tied to these chains and living in pain
Whoa
All of your tears, everything's gone, is it too late?
Walk away (everything's gone)
Walk away (everything's gone)
Walk away





A life without you, everything's gone
A life without you, everything's gone
