Walk Away
Nelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Switching up your hair, got your freak em dress on
Afraid that you were fresh, like you about to perform
And I'ma fucking mess I had you on my own
Wake up you was gone, I can't even blame you
Now you in the arms of a stranger
And now I'm all alone with this anger
You used to feel safe now I'm danger to you
Such a worry wind, I want my girlfriend
Party on ten, I can't even pretend
You used to love me , but now you wanna
And I hope you're happy
Hope you got what you wanted
Since I'm no longer wanting
I guess, I walk away
(Guess you got to walk away, yeah)
I really hope he makes you happy
I hope he gives you everything that you wanting
All the things that you wanting
'bout the presence I'm holding I guess I walk away
Guess I got to walk away
Girl you got me all this stressing I'm on so many could pressing
I'm switching above feeling
Hey y'all expression is new, thought you knows all up in her IQ
And I'll do right
Girl when a good thing, living without you
Thought I'll pay for my wrongs 'cause I ain't have enough
Told me I'm living, I had to call you bluff
Now I'm calling your phone, but you ain't picking up
I should have gave you love, I should have gave you trust
And now you moved on, and you're forgetting us
I'm singing the sad song, but you don't give a fuck
I hope you're happy
I hope you got what you wanted
And since I'm no longer wanting
I guess, I walk away
(Guess I got to walk away, yeah)
I really hope he makes you happy
I hope he gives you everything that you wanting
All the things that you wanting
'Bout the presence I'm holding I guess I walk away
Guess I got to walk away
There's nothing that hurts more than heart break
No one wants to take that phone
You're thinking about her all day
Nothing else matter at all
And the only thing worse than her living
Is no one it's your fault
And now I'm going through her
And I hope you're happy
Hope you got what you wanted
Since I'm no longer wanting
I guess, I walk away
(Guess you got to walk away, yeah)
I really hope he makes you happy
I hope he gives you everything that you wanting
All the things that you wanting
'bout the presence I'm holding I guess I walk away
Guess I got to walk away
