When You Walked Out On Me
Heather Myles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cried a tear or two,
An' I've loved and lost a few.
An' I've had my share of blue,
But nothin' compared to you.

An' I've had my ups and downs.
Picked myself up off the ground.
But I can't forget the sound,
When you walked out on me.

Do you remember that November,
When everything was right.
That was a beginning of an ending.
Now I can't get you out of my mind.

Now I live on lonely street,
Surrounded by your memories,
And I cry myself to sleep,
Since you walked out on me.

Do you remember that November,
When everything was right.
That was a beginning of an ending.
Now I can't get you out of my mind.

Now I've had my ups and downs.
Picked myself up off the ground.
But I can't forget the sound,
When you walked out on me.

When you walked out on me.





When you walked out on me.

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of the song “When You Walked Out On Me” by Heather Myles describes the singer’s heartbreak and how she’s experienced it in the past, but nothing compared to how she feels now that the person she loved has left her. She’s shed tears before, loved and lost before, and felt blue before, but this loss is different. The second verse acknowledges that the singer has been able to get through hard times before and pick herself up, but the memory of the moment when her partner walked out on her still haunts her. She can’t forget the sound of the front door closing and the feeling of abandonment.


The chorus brings us back to a specific moment in time, November, when everything seemed perfect. This moment, however, was the beginning of the end. Now the singer is “living on lonely street” surrounded by memories of the relationship, crying herself to sleep since the breakup. The final verse is an echo of the second verse, where the singer has picked herself up off the ground before, but the sound of her partner leaving still lingers.


Overall, the song is an emotional ballad about heartbreak and how even though we may have gone through difficult times before, the pain of losing someone we love can be unbearable. The song captures the raw vulnerability of the aftermath of a breakup and the memories that can haunt us.
