Christina Aguilera › Lyrics › 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

Ohh, 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 lost control
'Cause I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from
Yea yea
(I need to get away from you)
(Need to walk away from you)
(Get away, walk away, walk away)

I should have known that I was used for amusement
(For amusement, ah)
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion
Now, I've been licking my wounds
(Licking my wounds)
But the venom seems deeper
(Deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce, but darling you hold me prisoner
(Prisoner)

Ohh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiending for a cure
Ohh, 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
Yea, yea
(I need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)

Every time I try to grasp for air
I am smothered in despair
It's never over, over, ohh ohh
It seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer
Let it be over, over, ooh
Ohh, inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more
(Ooh ooh)
Now what to do, my heart ache's been bruised
So sad but it's true, each beat reminds me of you

Ohh, 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
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 moment
And everywhere I turn, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from
Yea aaa

Dying
Ooh ohh
I said
(Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)
Umm hmm umm hmm
(Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)
Only thing I need to do
(Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)
Is walk away from you
(Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)
Umm hmm hmm
(Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)
(Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)
Umm hmm walk, walk away
(Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)
(Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you)
Umm hmm hey hey
