Don't Walk Away
Rio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All our friends keep knocking at the door
They've asked me out a hundred times or more
But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom"
And here I stay within my lonely room
'Cause

I don't want to walk without you, Baby
Walk without my arm about you, Baby
I thought the day you left me behind
I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind
But now I find that
I don't want to walk without the sunshine
Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine?
Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me




'Cause I don't want to walk without you
No, sire

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rio's song "Don't Walk Away" paint a picture of heartbreak and loneliness. The singer of the song is isolated in their bedroom, rejecting invitations from friends to go out. They are holding out hope for their lover to return to them because they cannot bear the thought of walking through life without them. The chorus is a plea for their partner to return and stay with them, as they are lost without them. The last line of the chorus, "No, sire," adds an extra layer of desperation to the plea. The verses detail the singer's longing for their ex, and how they've been unsuccessful in getting over them.


Line by Line Meaning

All our friends keep knocking at the door
Despite the constant invitations from our friends, I prefer to stay in seclusion


They've asked me out a hundred times or more
My friends have persistently made an effort to include me in their outings


But all I say is, "Leave me in the gloom"
Despite their efforts, I refuse to join them and remain in my own unhappy state


And here I stay within my lonely room
I choose to keep to myself and remain isolated in my room


'Cause I don't want to walk without you, Baby
The reason I refuse to leave is that I can't bear to be without you, my love


Walk without my arm about you, Baby
I don't want to take a single step without holding you close to me


I thought the day you left me behind I'd take a stroll and get you right off my mind But now I find that
Initially, I thought I could forget about you by taking a walk, but I realize now that I can't


I don't want to walk without the sunshine Why'd you have to turn off all that sunshine?
Without you, my world is a darker place, and I can't bear it


Oh, Baby, please come back or you'll break my heart for me
I'm reaching out to you, begging for you to return, and avoid breaking my heart entirely


'Cause I don't want to walk without you No, sire
Without you, I refuse to walk through life, for you are the one who completes me
