You Can Be The Reason I Walk Out
Istra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will walk away
But the same thing
Keeps running back to me
They always find they're way back to me

I won't be the one trapped with you
I'll be the one to give it all over

They said I could be the one
To make it all in a day
And never have to see the way
They look at me while they
Swallowed my heart whole

Don't toy with me

Cause I don't need you
You can be the reason I walk out
