Walk Away
Embracing Farewell: Martina McBride's Walk Away Revelation
Lyrics
Look at you standing there
Observing the person standing there
You look so out of place
Appearing out of place or uncomfortable
I turn around one more time
Turning around for another look
Regret still has your face
Expressing regret, which is still evident in the person's face
I can read your mind right now
Claiming the ability to understand the person's thoughts in the present moment
You want me to stick around
Perceiving a desire for the speaker to stay
But nothing ends if I don't leave right now
Emphasizing that nothing will change unless the speaker leaves immediately
Let me go let me walk away, walk away baby
Expressing the need to be allowed to leave
I can't stay let me walk away, walk away baby
Reiterating the inability to stay
I'll be fine, I will recover
Believing in personal recovery and moving on
And I will learn to love another
Committing to learning to love someone else
Sometimes goodbye is the hardest thing to say
Acknowledging that saying goodbye can be challenging
So I'll walk away
Deciding to walk away from the situation
It was love and there were times I even fooled myself
Reflecting on past love and self-deception
And I believe we really tried but some things you just can't help
Expressing efforts in the relationship, recognizing limitations
As sure as we're both standing here
Affirming a clear understanding of the situation
I can see it all so clear
Having a vivid realization of the circumstances
And I can't wait for you to say goodbye
Anticipating and desiring the other person to say goodbye
Let me go let me walk away, walk away baby
Repeating the plea to be allowed to leave
I can't stay let me walk away, walk away baby
Reiterating the inability to stay
I'll be fine, I will recover
Reaffirming the belief in personal recovery and moving on
And I will learn to love another
Restating the commitment to love someone else
Sometimes goodbye is the hardest thing to say
Repeating the difficulty in saying goodbye
So I'll walk away
Choosing to walk away from the emotional pain
I can hurt right now
Acknowledging the current emotional pain
Or I can hurt later
Weighing the option of experiencing pain now or later
I think I'll get it over with
Deciding to get over the pain sooner rather than later
I think I'll get it over with
Reiterating the decision to move on swiftly
Let me go let me walk away, walk away
Repeating the plea to be allowed to leave
I can't stay let me walk away, walk away
Reiterating the inability to stay
I'll be fine, I will recover
Reaffirming the belief in personal recovery and moving on
And you will learn to love another
Indicating that the other person will also learn to love someone else
Sometimes goodbye is the hardest thing to say
Repeating the difficulty in saying goodbye
So I'll walk away
Finalizing the decision to walk away
