Walk Away
Elias Manuel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just need to know
I
Just need to see
If you really love
Really loving me
See I ain't fuckin'
Playing
But I just see you playing

What is going on
Everything is going
Wrong

You got me all stressed out
You don't wanna work this out
So you keep
On walkin away
I gave the best of me
You put the blame on me
So just keep on
Walkin away

I saw you walk away
From the life we
Had
One day you'll realize
I'm the best you had

I gave you one more chance
You threw it in my
Face
No I ain't playin games
Baby girl you'll get replaced

I always put you
First
But now you put me last
I knew it wouldn't last
Everything is moving
Fast

You got me all stressed out
You don't wan to work this out
So you
Keep on walkin away
I gave the best of me
You put the blame on me
So just
Keep on walkin away
I saw you walk away
From the life we
Had
One day you'll realize
I'm the best you had
All I really need
Is
For you to answer me
Do you here what I'm sayin?

You don't even know what
I'm feeling right now
So don't even act like you know
Cause you don't
Know

I saw you walk away
From the life we
Had

One day you'll realize
I'm the best you had

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Elias Manuel's "Walk Away" express the heartbreak of the singer as he watches his partner keep walking away from their relationship. The chorus, "You got me all stressed out, you don't wanna work this out, so you keep on walking away," communicates frustration and desperation as the singer gives his partner ultimatums to either put in the effort or move on. The lines "I gave the best of me, you put the blame on me" signify that the singer has put his all into the relationship, but his partner has taken him for granted and blamed him for their problems. The chorus repeats the phrase "keep on walking away" several times, emphasizing the painful futility of arguing without positive action.

The second verse depicts the singer's disappointment as he sees his partner neglecting their relationship, despite his efforts to make it work. The lyrics convey the singer's underlying hurt and feelings of being taken advantage of, as he sings "I always put you first, but now you put me last." The bridge is a plea for communication and honesty, "All I really need is for you to answer me, do you hear what I'm saying?" The final lines of the song express the singer's hope that someday his partner will realize that he was the "best she ever had."
