Walk Away
Little Louie & Marc Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you still can't let go?
I was naive
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping
And I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely
And it hurts my soul
Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
'Cause I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I should have known
I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion
Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
But the venom seeps deeper(deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce
But darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)
I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Every time I try to grasp for air
I get smothered in despair, it's never over, over
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare,
I let out a silent prayer
Let it be over, over
Inside I'm screaming
Begging, pleading
No more
I don't know what to do
My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you
It hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cause I
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, oh
I'm about to break
And I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, Oh
I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I say
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
Only thing I need to do is walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
