Walk Away
The Choice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will walk away from you
(Don't stop me)
I will walk away from you
(Don't blame me)

I have felt the ugly midget kicking on my knee
I have seen the ugly midget walking over me

I will tell you what I've learned
We're through as far as I'm concerned
Break up and just before we do
I will walk away from you

I will walk away from you
(Stop me)
I will walk away from you
(Blame me)

I have had enough of you
Tell me you hate me too
Or embrace me and forget
What I have said to you

I will tell you what I've learned
We're one as far as I'm concerned
Make up and just before we do
I will be walking back to you

Walking back to you
Walking back to you

Walking back to you
Walking back to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Choice's song "Walk Away" seems to be about a person who is ending their relationship with their partner. The repetition of "I will walk away from you" reinforces the idea of finality and determination in the person's decision. The lines "I have felt the ugly midget kicking on my knee, I have seen the ugly midget walking over me" might be a metaphor for the negative and hurtful things that the partner has said or done to the person. This has resulted in the person feeling like they need to walk away from the relationship to protect themselves and their emotional well-being.

The lines "Tell me you hate me too, Or embrace me and forget, What I have said to you" highlights the internal conflict within the person. On one hand, they want their partner to reciprocate their feelings of anger and hatred, but on the other hand, they still have feelings for their partner and want to reconcile with them. The person seems to have come to the conclusion that they need to walk away from the relationship to move on and heal. However, they are also open to the possibility of returning to the relationship if they can reconcile their differences.
