Walk Away
Moya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've loved and lost, you've felt the pain
But when it comes to pointing fingers you're to blame
Her cheeks are red, you're feeling blue
But when it comes to being selfish you're the fool
The time she spent waiting for you
Out in the cold and wondering what she didn't do
But now times passed, the seasons changed
And you're the one that's waiting in that winter rain

Close your eyes and turn your face away now
Cause there's nothing left to say
Feel the force of your mistakes and pay now
Walk away now, walk away
Her bags are packed, she's out the door

And now it's you that's on your knees pleading for more
That summer glow, that she will find
Will only be a distant dream within your mind
Close your eyes and turn your face away now

Cause there's nothing left to say
Feel the force of your mistakes and pay now
Walk away now, walk away
Ooh, walk away
Oh, walk away
Just walk away
Close your eyes and turn your face away now

Cause there's nothing left to say
Feel the force of your mistakes and pay now
Walk away now, walk away
So close your eyes and turn your face away now
Cause there's nothing left to say
Feel the force of your mistakes and pay now
Walk away now, walk away




So look around, enjoy the view
This is the last time that she'll ever look at you
