Walk Away
Kristine W Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You tell me that I was created for you
That nobody else makes you feel like I do
And I want to believe that it's true
When you make all of these promises
Fabulous plans
You fill me with hope
Painting pictures so grand
But why after all of this time
Don't I know where I stand

Don't you know
What you stand to loose
If you don't
Then you're still confused

Walk away
If you're not here to stay
'Cause I care about myself too much
And I've hurt enough
Walk away
'Cause I'm not here to play
And if you're not really
Free to love
If you don't need my love
Then turn and walk away
Turn and walk away yeah yeah

You asked for my heart
And I gave you much more
Unselfish devotion
And emotion so pure
But how can you still be unsure
Well if I'm not the one
Then stop wasting my time
Give back the part of the heart that was mine
But know that
Another love like me
You'll never find

Don't you know
What you stand to loose
If you don't
Then you still can choose

Walk away
If you're not here to stay
'Cause I care about myself too much
And I've hurt enough
Walk away
'Cause I'm not here to play
And if you're not really
Free to love
If you don't need my love
Then turn and walk away

I know that I will find someone who does
Someone who loves me just because
But if that would be too much
For you
Then walk away
Walk away walk away walk away then walk away then walk away then walk away
Then turn and walk away

Walk away
If you're not here to stay
'Cause I care about myself too much
And I've hurt enough
Walk away
'Cause I'm not here to play
And if you're not really
Free to love
If you don't need my love
Then turn and walk away
If you're not here to stay
'Cause I care about myself too much
And I've hurt enough
Walk away
'Cause I'm not here to play
And if you're not really
Free to love
If you don't need my love
Then turn and walk away

Turn and walk away
Go ahead and walk away now
Turn and walk away
You go ahead and walk away now
Turn and walk away
Turn and walk away
Turn and walk away
Turn and walk away
Turn and walk away
Turn and walk away
Turn and walk away




Turn and walk away
Turn and walk away

Overall Meaning

The song Walk Away by Kristine W. is a powerful and honest expression of a woman's self-worth and strength in love. The lyrics speak of a relationship in which a partner is making promises and beautiful plans, but there is uncertainty about whether those promises will be kept, and whether the relationship is genuine. The singer makes it clear that she will not tolerate being used or mistreated and urges her partner to "walk away" if they are not willing to truly love and commit to her.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of clarity and self-assuredness. The singer knows what she wants and is not willing to settle for anything less. She has given her heart and devotion freely, but is not afraid to demand assurance and respect. The repeated refrain "walk away" underscores her resolute stance and serves as a warning to anyone who might seek to take advantage of her.


In essence, Walk Away is a celebration of self-love and empowerment, as well as a reminder that loving ourselves and setting healthy boundaries is essential to finding authentic and fulfilling relationships.


Line by Line Meaning

You tell me that I was created for you
You say that I was made specifically for your love


That nobody else makes you feel like I do
That I'm the only one who can give you emotional satisfaction


And I want to believe that it's true
And I wish that I could trust you when you say that


When you make all of these promises
When you make a bunch of commitments to me


Fabulous plans
Extraordinary and exciting ideas for our future together


You fill me with hope
You make me feel optimistic and encouraged


Painting pictures so grand
Imagining magnificent scenarios of our potential life together


But why after all of this time
But despite all the time we've been together


Don't I know where I stand
Why don't I know for sure where our relationship is headed


Don't you know
Don't you understand


What you stand to lose
What you're in danger of missing out on


If you don't
If you fail to recognize


Then you're still confused
Then you're still indecisive and uncertain


Walk away
Leave this relationship


If you're not here to stay
If you're not fully invested in our relationship


'Cause I care about myself too much
Because I value myself and my well-being too much


And I've hurt enough
And I've already been through enough pain


'Cause I'm not here to play
Because I'm not interested in casual or insincere relationships


And if you're not really
And if you're not genuinely


Free to love
Able to fully express and reciprocate love


If you don't need my love
If you don't require my love


Then turn and walk away
Then please leave and don't waste my time


I know that I will find someone who does
I trust that I will discover someone who truly loves me


Someone who loves me just because
Someone who loves me unconditionally and without conditions


But if that would be too much
But if that's too high of a standard


For you
For you to offer or accept


Then walk away
Then it's best if you leave


Go ahead and walk away now
Please go on and leave immediately


Turn and walk away
Please turn around and exit from my life

Powerful Voice!

Have always loved her powerful voice.
She does not look 45 in this video, I can't believe she is 4 years older than me.
