Walk Away
Breakfast at Your Place Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now in my mind there's no open door
I've been here before
I walk alone
In these empty streets and there's no one home
I walk alone
I don't know when and I don't know how
But I'll do this you know
I'll walk away
There's nothing left for me here I will walk away
There's nothing else to say
Walk away
There's nothing left for me here
And there's nothing else to say
And walk away
I can't see the light
Now every day is like a sleepless night
I can't see the light
Forgive me my friend
You seem to care but you don't understand
I've reached the end
I'll do this you know
I don't know when and I don't know how
But I'll do this you know
I'll walk away
There's nothing left for me here I will walk away
There's nothing else to say
Walk away
There's nothing left for me here
And there's nothing else to say
And walk away
Remember what you said
When there's no hope there's no tear to shed
Remember what you said
Thinking of the past
It's been a thousand years but I still feel the blast
Thinking of the past
I'll do this you know
I don't know when and I don't know how
But I'll do this you know
I'll walk away
There's nothing left for me here I will walk away
There's nothing else to say
Walk away
There's nothing left for me here
And there's nothing else to say
And walk away
