Walk Out Now
Unyielding Resolve: The Price of Independence
Lyrics
If you walk out on me now
If you leave me at this moment
Just remember
Keep in mind
That I'm a stubborn son of a bitch
Emphasizing stubbornness
And you won't be welcome back
You won't be accepted back
I won't eat my pride for you
I won't compromise my self-respect for you
If you know me like I think you do, you must know
Suggesting familiarity with the speaker
That I'll cut you no slack
No leniency or forgiveness
Even if I need you
Even if I require your presence
Even if I am blue.
Even if I'm feeling down
'Cause you should know that I won't bow to you
Refusing to submit or yield
I won't kiss your ass like you want me to
Not willing to flatter or comply as desired
If you won't put your trust and faith in me
If trust and faith are not reciprocated
Do you realize what this space might bring
Awareness of potential consequences of separation
I won't back down
Firm stance, unwilling to retreat
If you walk out now
If you decide to leave now
Walk out now.
Repetition of the decision to leave
You try and tell me I'm the one-
Blaming the speaker for problems
The one responsible for all your little problems
Denial of responsibility for the issues
You say you feel the time has come
Claiming the time has come for a change
We both know it's not my fault
Assertion of innocence in the situation
When the time's come for you to come back crawlin'
Anticipating a future need for support
And I've got some words of wisdom for you
Offering advice using a golden rule
Do unto others
Moral guideline of treating others as you want to be treated
As you've had done to you.
Encouraging reciprocal behavior
And you should know that I won't bow to you
Reiteration of not complying with expectations
I won't kiss your ass like you want me to
If trust and faith are not reciprocated
If you won't put your trust and faith in me
Awareness of potential consequences of separation
Do you realize what this space might bring
Repetition of the importance of trust and faith
But I won't back down
Firm stance, unwilling to retreat
If you walk out now
If you decide to leave now
Walk out now
Repetition of the decision to leave
