Walk Away
These Four Walls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This pressure and pain I do ignore
But you walk away and I come undone
And I leave you behind
What I know
Is what I've always known
Under my skin, It settles in
So who am I now?
I cannot be this way
I just can't stand who I've become
Well, I let you walk away
I let you walk away
I let you walk away
Before I hurt somebody else
Can I just stop running
I fear I've run too far
Can I just stop hiding
Or is it safe to hide my scars?
Let be breathe just for a while
For a chance to catch my death
What I know
Is what I've always known

My mate saw these guys live with Trivium, Disturbed and some other band I can't remember right now... Anyway, ever since he brought their first album back, I was hooked. Love the NZ music, maybe you guys should do a gig in Christchurch, again.
