Walk Away lyrics

What do you do, when you know something's bad for you, but you just can't let it go?

I was naive, your love was like candy

Artificially sweet, I was decieved by the wrapping,

Got caught in your web and I learned how to bleed

I was prey in your bed and devoured completely

[Chorus:]

And it hurts my soul, cause I can't let go all these walls are cavin in

I can't stop my sufferin

I hate to show that I've lost control cause I,

I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from ya, need to walk away from ya get away, walk away, walk away....

I should have known that I was used for amusement

Couldn't see through the smoke, it was all an illusion

Now I've been lickin my wounds, but the venom seeps deeper

We both can seduce, but darlin you hold me prisoner

[Chorus x2:]

Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache

I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure

Every step I take, leads to one mistake

I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need

I can't mend, this torn state I'm in getting nothing in return

What did I do to deserve the pain of this slow burn

And everywhere I turn I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from ya, need to walk away from ya get away, walk away, walk away....

Every time I try to grasp for air, I am smothered in despair it's never over, over

Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare, I let out a silent prayer

Let it be over, over

Inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more

Now what to do, my heart has been bruised, so sad but it's true

Each beat reminds me of you

[Out chorus:]

It hurts my soul, cause I can't let go all these walls are cavin in

I can't stop my sufferin

I hate to show that I've lost control cause I,

I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache

I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure

Every step I take, leads to one mistake

I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need oh I can't mend this torn state I'm in

Getting nothing in return what did I do to deserve

The pain of this slow burn

And everywhere I turn I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from

[Repeat chorus x4]
