Walk Away
The Script(더 스크립트) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know why she's with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her, by now I would have left me
I would have walked away
But now I've broken away
Somehow instead she forgave me
She said a woman's got to do what she's got to do
Even if it means she denied herself the truth
'Cause when you're in too deep you wake up when it's too late,
You've fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don't go now then you'll stay
'Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe
'Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain't me

So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
But still she stays

She's standing in the heart of darkness
Saying I know you got a soul even though you're heartless
How could any woman in their right mind be so blind,
To find something this safe
Instead of walking with me she should have walked away

She finds color in the darkest places
She finds beauty in the saddest of faces
For such a clued in, headstrong city girl
Could've had the world but she's fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don't go now then you'll stay
'Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe
'Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain't me

So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
But still she stays
(Oh, yeah)
But still she stays
(Oh, yeah)

I don't know why she's with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her, by now I would have left me
I would have walked away

But you've fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don't go now then you'll stay
'Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe
'Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain't me

So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
But still she stays

(Yeah)
But still she stays, eh
I'm saying walk away
Yeah
I'm saying walk away
(Save yourself from the heartache, go now before it's too late)
But still she stays
Still she stays




Yeah, she stays
She stays

Overall Meaning

The song "Walk Away" by The Script talks about a relationship where the singer acknowledges that he has been causing trouble to the girl since the day she met him, and if it were him, he would have left. However, despite everything, the girl forgives him every time, denying herself the truth, and staying with him. The girl finds color and beauty in the darkest and saddest of places, seeing the soul in the heartless, and chooses to stay despite the singer being aware that he is not the best thing for her. The chorus of the song urges the girl to walk away to save herself from the heartache before it is too late, but she still stays. In the end, the singer tells her to walk away, but she remains.


The song is touching on a theme that is common to a lot of relationships, often revolving around the idea that sometimes people can love someone who is wrong for them or who may cause them hurt instead of finding someone safe and right. The song highlights the idea of loving in the "worst way," that is, someone loving against their best interest. The song is melancholy and has a somber tone, as if it is a sad story being told, and it evokes a sense of resignation and the inevitability of the situation.

@@emmankianga9082 their every song is just way too perfectly crafted to not like.

@matthomson6516

Walk away, rusty halo, exit wounds, eden, are 4 songs that are 10x better after a few listens. Exit wounds now easily 1 of my top 10. I feel sorry for whoever has the impossible task of making a best of lol.

@pharotae710

Your not alone

@___CHICKEN___

@@matthomson6516 walk away yes, Eden yes, Exit wounds is also in my top 10, however Rusty halo, although not bad in any way, I think is their worst song. I do still really enjoy it tho
