Walk Away

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

Oh and it hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've
Lost control 'cause I
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from, yeah

I need to get away from you
I need to walk away from you
Get away, walk away, walk away

I should have known
That I was used for amusement (for amusement, oh)
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion
Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
But the venom seeps deeper (deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce
But darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)

Oh I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiending for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going 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 going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from, yeah

I need to get away from you
I need to walk away from you

Every time I try to grasp for air
I am smothered in despair
It's never over, over... oh
It seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer
Let it be over, over... ooh

Inside I'm screaming, begging pleading
No more... oh, ohh

Now what to do
My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you

Ooh it hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've
Lost control 'cause I
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, oh

I'm about to break
And I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiending for a cure, no oh
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going 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 going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from, yeah

I said
I need to get away from you
I need to walk away from you
Get away, walk away, walk away

Only thing I need to do
Is walk away from you, yeah
Walk away, ooh
