Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess I should've known better
To believe I'm a lucky chain, oh
I lent my heart out forever
And finally learned each other's names
I tell myself,this time it's different
I'll never survive on one that's coming
If I stay, ooh
Just walk away
Ooh, and don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late, oh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk away) Ooh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk) Away-aye-aye, yeah
I really wish I could blame you, but I know
That it's no one's fault, no, no, no, no
Cinderella with no shoe, and
The prince that doesn't know he's lost
He says that her face is so familiar, and
Goodbye with just the same old song
But this time I will not surrender
'Cause I'm gone, ooh, yeah
Just walk away
Ooh, and don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late. oh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk away) Ooh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk) Away-aye-aye, yeah
Ooh, I've got to let it go
Start protecting my heart and soul
'Cause I don't think I'll survive a goodbye again.
Not again!
Just walk away!
Ooh, and don't look back.
'Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late,before it's too late
Oh, just walk away
(Walk, walk, walk away) Walk away, walk away, yeah
(Walk, walk, walk away!) Walk away, walk away, all right
(Walk away, walk away, yeah, walk away!) Walk away, walk away
(Oh, walk, walk, walk away!) Walk away, walk away, ooh
Ooh
