If You Walk Away
Michele Luppi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take away my heart
If you walk away
All I had is gone
I've never found a reason for you to pretend
You've gotta find one more reason to stay
There is something left to say
If you walk away
I just can't find the words you know
I've never found a reason for you to pretend
You've gotta find one more reason to stay
Without you
(Without you)
I'll never be the same
Can anybody take away the rust from my heart?
Without you
(Without you)
The sun will never shine
If you walk away...
If you walk away
My fears are coming back
If you walk away
Nothing's gonna be alright
I've never found a reason for you to pretend
You've gotta find one more reason to stay
Without you
(Without you)
I'll never be the same
(I'll never be the same)
Can anybody take away the rust from my heart?
Without you
(Without you)
The sun will never shine
If you walk away
No, I'll never be the same
(No, I'll never be the same)
If you walk away
Mmm, nothing's gonna be alright
Without you
(Without you)
I'll never be the same
(Never be the same)
Can anybody take away the rust from my heart?
Without you
(Without you)
The sun will never shine
If you walk away...
If you walk away...
Without you
(Without you)
Without you... I'll never be the same
(Never be the same)
Can anybody take away the rust from my heart?
Without you
(Without you)
The sun will never shine
If you walk away...
If you walk away...
(If you walk away...)
If you walk away...
(If you walk away...)
If you walk away...
(If you walk away...)
If you walk away...
(If you walk away...)
If you walk away...
(If you walk away...)
If you walk away...
(If you walk away...)
The lyrics of "If You Walk Away" by Michele Luppi convey the fear of losing someone who means everything to the singer. It touches upon the thought of the despair and the emptiness that would follow if the person they love decides to leave. The singer is pleading for a reason to stay, hoping that they don't lose the person they love- all while expressing the inability to find the words to make them stay. The chorus repeatedly reminds the listener of the gravity of this loss and how it could potentially ruin the singer's life forever. The bridge conveys the stark reality that without the person they love, they will never be the same- nothing will ever be alright, and they will be consumed by endless despair.
