Walk Away
J. Burney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes
The right person
Can come at the wrong time
And sometimes
You got to let them go
Where did your love go
I really don't know
Thought you was the one who had my back
Now we strangers wats up with that
Can't find peace of mind
If I can rewind the time
To where we was good
No care in the world
When I was your man
And you was my girl
This love I have for you is all the way real
(Real)
And you been through some pain
But I just want to help you heal
(Heal)
Even if you gotta walk away from me
I gave my all to you
I dont know what else to do
Even if you gotta walk away from me
You'll always have my heart
Maybe this is best for us
Even if you gotta walk away from me
(Walk away yea)
Walk away
Walk away from me
Yea yea
Ahhhhh ahhh
Ahhhh
I did you right
I was there by your side
When times got tough with us
Our love was worth the fight
Yea
Fuck them other lames
They can't treat you like I can
Why can you understand
This love I have for you is all the way real
(Real)
And you been through some pain
But i just want to help you heal
(Heal yeah)
Even if you gotta walk away from me
I gave my all to you
I don't know what else to do
(Dont know what else i can do)
Even if you gotta walk away from me
(I don't want you to walk away yea)
You'll always have my heart




Maybe this is best for us
Even if you gotta walk away from me
