Walk Away
The Murphys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're gonna get married
Raise yourself a family
How simple life can be
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you ain't got the heart
To finish what you started
Yeah you fell in love
And you went and got married
Had yourself a family
How simple life can be
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you ain't got the heart
To finish what you started
The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones that you said you tried to find
They tried to find you
The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones that you said you tried to find
They tried to find you
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you ain't got the heart
To finish what you started
You walked out that door
To find out where you belong
To fulfill your own selfish dreams
I think you might have forgotten
The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones that you said you tried to find
They tried to find you
The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones that you said you tried to find
They tried to find you
