By this point, the band had relocated to America -- with Mileski replaced by new drummer Mark Goodwin -- and soon landed a deal with Virgin Records. Sick Puppies' sophomore LP, Dressed Up as Life, arrived in April of 2007. The exposure brought to them by the Free Hugs video helped the single "All the Same" reach number eight on Billboard's Modern Rock chart. Their second U.S. single, "My World," also reached number 20 on the Modern Rock chart and was followed by three more singles in 2008. Working with American production team Rock Mafia, Sick Puppies' delivered their third album, Tri-Polar, in 2009, which rose to number 31 on the U.S. Billboard 200. Less than a year later, they released the EP Live & Unplugged, which contained acoustic versions of songs from the album. A second companion EP, this one called Polar Opposite and also containing acoustic versions of songs from Tri-Polar, appeared in 2011. Produced again by Rock Mafia, their fourth album, Connect, fared even better, reaching number 17 on the Top 200 in the summer of 2013. In spite of their rising success, Connect would prove to be their last album with founding member Moore, who left the band in late 2014. Within days of this announcement, Anzai was approached by Texas-born singer and guitarist Bryan Scott, whose audition tape quickly landed him the job as Moore's replacement. The new lineup began writing and recording material for their fourth album, teasing with a new single, "Stick to Your Guns," in early 2016.

Walking Away
Sick Puppies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the thing that brought me back to life
I put you on a pedestal
You said I do, I said you will
Now tell me do you wanna
Keep any of this alive? (Alive?)
Didn't I didn't I love you?
You're not walking away
You're not walking away
(Do you wanna keep this alive?)
You and I, we should be together
You and I, we're in this forever
You're not getting away
You're not getting away
Where would you be without me?
Just ask yourself
No one's gonna love you like I do
Look into my eyes and see
I could never let you leave
Now tell me do you wanna
Keep any of this alive? (Alive?)
Didn't I didn't I love you?
Wasn't I good enough for you?
You're not walking away
You're not walking away
(Don't you wanna keep this alive?)
You and I, we should be together
You and I, we're in this forever
You're not getting away
You're not getting away
Look at you.
Why are you so beautiful?
You're my only one
But you make it so hard for me
Just look at what you've done
Didn't I didn't I love you?
Wasn't I good enough for you?
You're not walking away
You're not walking away
(Do you wanna keep this alive?)
You and I, we should be together
You and I, we're in this forever
You're not getting away
You're not getting away
(Do you wanna keep this alive?)
You're not getting away
You're not getting away
(Do you wanna keep this alive?)
You're not getting away
You're not getting away
In "Walking Away", Sick Puppies vocalize a desperate plea to their loved one not to abandon them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has put their significant other on a pedestal and that this person is the reason they are still alive. They beg their partner to stay and work through their issues, as they believe that nobody will ever love their significant other as they do. They also call attention to the fact that they have sacrificed a lot for this relationship and ask the rhetorical question "wasn't I good enough for you?"
The chorus is a repetitive message to the partner that they are not allowed to leave, and that the singer believes they should be together forever. The bridge takes on a more questioning tone as the singer asks their partner to look into their eyes and tells them that they would never let them go. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the message that the partner is not allowed to walk away.
Overall, the song is a passionate cry to hold on to a relationship that is seemingly slipping away. It is a message of desperation and a plea for one last chance to make things work.

SICK PUPPIES (2013) – WALKING AWAY (Traducción)
You mean everything to me, don't you know
Lo eres todo para mí, ¿no lo sabes?
You are the thing that brought me back to life
Eres lo que me trajo de vuelta a la vida
I put you on a pedestal, you said "I do"
Te puse en un pedestal, tú dijiste "acepto"
I said "you will now tell me do you wanna keep any of this alive?" alive
Dije "Ahora me dirás, ¿Quieres mantener todo esto vivo? Vivo
Now do you think of me?
Ahora ¿Que piensas de mí?
Didn't I, didn't I love you?
¿No lo hice? ¿No te amé?
Wasn't I, good enough for you?
¿No fui lo bastante bueno para ti?
You're not walking away, you're not walking away
No te vas a marchar, no te vas a marchar
Don't you wanna keep this alive?
¿No quieres mantener esto vivo?
You and I, we should be together
Tú y yo, deberíamos estar juntos
You and I, we're in this forever
Tú y yo, estamos en esto para siempre
You're not getting away, you're not getting away
No vas a escapar, no vas a escapar
Where would you be without me, just ask yourself
¿Dónde estarías sin mí? Sólo pregúntatelo
No one's gonna love you like I do
Nadie va a amarte como lo hago yo
Look into my eyes and see, I could never let you leave
Mírame a los ojos y ve, nunca podría dejarte marchar
Now tell me do you wanna keep any of this alive? alive
Ahora dime, ¿No quieres mantener todo esto vivo? Vivo
Now do you think of me?
Ahora ¿Que piensas de mí?
Didn't I, didn't I love you?
¿No lo hice? ¿No te amé?
Wasn't I, good enough for you?

Why are you so beautiful?
¿Por qué eres tan hermosa?
You're my only one
Eres la única para mí
But you make it so hard for me
Pero me lo pones tan difícil
Just look at what you've done
Simplemente mira lo que has hecho
Didn't I, didn't I love you?
¿No lo hice? ¿No te amé?
Wasn't I, good enough for you?
¿No fui lo bastante bueno para ti?
You're not walking away, you're not walking away
No te vas a marchar, no te vas a marchar
