Don't Walk Away
Love's Resilience: Don't Walk Away - Pat Benatar
Lyrics
Standin' in the doorway, forgot to say one thing
Expressing a missed opportunity to communicate or convey something important.
You've always had the power to lift my wings
Acknowledging the partner's positive influence and ability to provide support.
I know I shouldn't need so much, an' we could say goodbye
Admitting a personal need for support and contemplating the possibility of parting ways.
Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flyin' high
Embracing a hopeful and optimistic perspective, envisioning a shared, uplifting experience.
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Suggesting a chance to restart the relationship, emphasizing clarity in intentions.
Love is what brought you here
Highlighting love as the driving force that brought the partners together.
Don't Walk Away
An emphatic plea for the partner not to leave or end the relationship.
Oh, to see if I follow
Expressing a desire for reassurance by testing the partner's commitment.
Don't Walk Away, victory's hollow
Suggesting that giving up on the relationship leads to a sense of emptiness.
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Reflecting on past challenges and failures that did not lead to a successful outcome.
Turn around, you won't be alone
Encouraging the partner to reconsider and not face difficulties alone.
Somethin' brings us together, keeps tearin' us apart
Noting a conflicting force that both unites and creates distance in the relationship.
The wounded are much wiser, we'll just take it from the start
Valuing the wisdom gained from past wounds and advocating for a fresh start.
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Reiterating the opportunity for a new beginning, grounded in love.
Love is what brought you here
Emphasizing love as the reason for the relationship's existence.
Don't Walk Away
Repeating the plea for the partner not to leave.
Oh, to see if I follow
Questioning the partner's commitment and willingness to be followed.
Don't Walk Away, victory's hollow
Highlighting the sense of emptiness or hollowness when the partner walks away.
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Recalling a familiar path that did not lead to a positive outcome.
Turn around, you won't be alone
Encouraging the partner to turn around and face the challenges together.
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Reaffirming the possibility of starting afresh, grounded in love.
Love is what brought you here
Reiterating the significance of love as a foundational element.
Don't Walk Away
Repeating the plea for the partner not to walk away.
Oh, to see if I follow
Testing the partner's commitment by questioning their willingness to be followed.
Don't Walk Away, victory's hollow
Stressing the emptiness or hollowness of victory without the partner.
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Recalling past experiences where a chosen path did not lead to a satisfactory destination.
Turn around, you won't be alone
Encouraging the partner to turn around and face challenges together.
Don't Walk Away
Repeating the plea for the partner not to walk away.
Don't Walk Away!
Emphasizing the urgency and intensity of the plea.
Oh, to see if I follow
Reiterating the test of the partner's commitment by questioning their willingness to be followed.
Don't Walk Away, victory's hollow
Reiterating the sense of emptiness or hollowness in victory without the partner.
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Recalling a familiar path that did not lead to a positive outcome.
Turn around, you won't be alone
Encouraging the partner to turn around and face challenges together.
Don't Walk Away
Repeating the plea for the partner not to walk away.
Oh, to see if I follow
Testing the partner's commitment by questioning their willingness to be followed.
Oh, Don't Walk Away, Don't Walk Away
Repeating the plea with added emphasis.
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Recalling a familiar path that did not lead to a positive outcome.
Turn around, turn around, you won't be, you won't be alone
Reassuring the partner that they won't be alone if they turn around.
