Walk Away
High School Musical Cast & Vanessa Hudgens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess I should've known better
To believe I'm a lucky chain, oh
I lent my heart out forever
And finally learned each other's names
I tell myself,this time it's different
I'll never survive on one that's coming
If I stay, ooh
Just walk away
Ooh, and don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late, oh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk away) Ooh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk) Away-aye-aye, yeah
I really wish I could blame you, but I know
That it's no one's fault, no, no, no, no
Cinderella with no shoe, and
The prince that doesn't know he's lost
He says that her face is so familiar, and
Goodbye with just the same old song
But this time I will not surrender
'Cause I'm gone, ooh, yeah
Just walk away
Ooh, and don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late. oh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk away) Ooh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk) Away-aye-aye, yeah
Ooh, I've got to let it go
Start protecting my heart and soul
'Cause I don't think I'll survive a goodbye again.
Not again!
Just walk away!
Ooh, and don't look back.
'Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late,before it's too late
Oh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk away) Walk away, walk away, yeah
(Walk, walk, walk away!) Walk away, walk away, all right
(Walk away, walk away, yeah, walk away!) Walk away, walk away
(Oh, walk, walk, walk away!) Walk away, walk away, ooh
Ooh

I guess I should've known better
I made a mistake in thinking things would work out
To believe I'm a lucky chain, oh
To believe that fate was working in my favor
I lent my heart out forever
I gave my heart to someone else wholeheartedly
And finally learned each other's names
I learned more about the person I gave my heart to
I tell myself,this time it's different
I'm trying to convince myself that things will be different
No goodbyes, 'cause eyes can't bear to say it
I don't want to say goodbye because it's too difficult
I'll never survive on one that's coming
I won't be able to handle the heartache that's coming if I don't leave now
If I stay, ooh
If I don't leave now
Just walk away
I need to leave this situation
Ooh, and don't look back
I shouldn't second-guess my decision to leave
'Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
If I stay, I know I'll be hurt
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
I can't handle the pain of heartbreak
Before it's too late, oh, just walk away
I need to leave before it's too late
(Walk, walk, walk away) Ooh, just walk away
I need to physically and emotionally walk away from this situation
(Walk, walk, walk) Away-aye-aye, yeah
I can't stay in this situation
I really wish I could blame you, but I know
I can't put all the blame on you
That it's no one's fault, no, no, no, no
No one is to blame for how things turned out
Cinderella with no shoe, and
I feel like I'm missing something important
The prince that doesn't know he's lost
The person I gave my heart to doesn't realize the consequences of their actions
He says that her face is so familiar, and
The person I'm leaving behind thinks they know me better than they actually do
Goodbye with just the same old song
It feels like I've been down this road before
But this time I will not surrender
I won't give up and stay in a situation that's not right for me
'Cause I'm gone, ooh, yeah
I've left and I'm not coming back
Ooh, I've got to let it go
I need to let go of this situation
Start protecting my heart and soul
I need to take care of myself emotionally
'Cause I don't think I'll survive a goodbye again.
I don't think I can handle another heartbreak
Not again!
I don't want to go through this pain again
Before it's too late,before it's too late
I need to leave now before it's too late
Walk away, walk away, yeah
I need to physically and emotionally walk away from this situation
Walk away, walk away, all right
I know this is the right decision
Walk away, walk away, yeah, walk away!
I'm taking control of my life and choosing to leave
Walk away, walk away, ooh
I can't stay in this situation any longer
