Walk Away
 
Music and lyrics by Christina Aguilera, Scott Storch and Matt Morris
 
 
What do you do when you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?

I was naive, your love was like candy
Artificially sweet, I was deceived by the wrapping
Got caught in your web and I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed and devoured completely
 
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 subdue darlin' you hold me prisoner

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 noting 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

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 pray 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

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
I'm about to break and 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 noting 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 said I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away (I need to get away from ya), walk away, walk away (need to walk away from ya)

Only thing I need to do is walk away

I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away (I need to get away from ya), walk away, walk away (need to walk away from ya)
(Repeat 3 times)
