I Can't Walk Away
Unforgettable Struggle: Embracing the Past
Lyrics
(Feeling)
Expressing a feeling
(Nothing)
Feeling of nothingness or emptiness
Even how good you treat me
Despite being treated well, there's a sense of not fitting in
Even still, I don't belong
A continuation of feeling out of place despite circumstances
I never had it easy
Life has been challenging
Maybe that's what made me strong
Adversity possibly contributed to personal strength
But you grew up so different
Pointing out differences in upbringing
With treasure in the ground
Reference to hidden or unseen value
Thought you could ignore me
An attempt to be ignored, but still present
But I keep on hanging 'round
Continuously staying involved despite being disregarded
I can't walk away
Repeated assertion of inability to leave the past behind
No, I can't walk away
-I can't walk away
-No, I can't walk away
-I can't walk away
-No, I can't walk away
-I can't walk away
-From who I used to be
Feeling tethered to one's past self
Go ahead and test me
A challenge to test one's ability to be alone
See if I can be alone
Questioning if anything can make an impact
Nothing can impress me
Having experienced the worst already
I've squeezed blood from stone
Having extracted everything possible from a difficult situation
The worst thing that can happen
Facing adversity while standing up for personal beliefs
Stand up for what I believe
When loved ones turn away
When everyone that I love
Continued assertion of the inability to walk away
Turns away from me
From the person one used to be
I can't walk away
Reiteration of the inability to leave the past behind
No, I can't walk away
-I can't walk away
-No, I can't walk away
-I can't walk away
-No, I can't walk away
-I can't walk away
-From who I used to be
-We got so far from where we started
Reflecting on distance from the starting point
We almost hit the bottom
Nearing a low point or crisis
But all I ever really wanted was you
An admission of desire for someone
What's this feeling
Questioning a new feeling of belonging
Of belonging
Contrasting the current feeling with past experiences
This is nothing like before
Describing a new and unfamiliar sensation
Like a fever
Continued analogy of an unfamiliar sensation
You keep calling
A persistent beckoning or calling
How much farther can we go?
Questioning the limit of how far one can go
I can't walk away
Reiterated inability to walk away from the present self and situation
No, I can't walk away
-I can't walk away
-From who I am today
-I can't walk away
-No, I can't walk away
-I can't walk away
-From where I'm supposed to be
-We got so far from where we started
Reflection on the distance traveled from the beginning and the desire for a specific person
We almost hit the bottom
-But all I ever really wanted was you
-We got so far from where we started
-We almost hit the bottom
-But all I ever really wanted was you
-Can't walk away
Final affirmation of the inability to walk away
Can't walk away
