Walk Away

Words and Music: Amy Ray

We used to walk in each others' arms
"It was one on one", that's what you said
And now the moon is a sliver in our eye
We stand bleeding on this broken glass
But there was too much repetition (over and over and over again)
You know we're past the point of sane (over and over and over again)
And all this broken glass you left behind
Won't let you make a clean, clean
I said walk away

Now we're crossing from the sacred ground
Where we once held each other, and each others' names
But the words are sparse and we feel so profound
But babe you know all I feel, I feel so shamed
But there was too much repetition
You know I'm past the point of sane
And all this broken glass you left behind
Won't let you make a clean, clean

I said walk away, ah no, walk away, baby baby, walk away

And there was a time when we gave everything
And it was true babe, true enough to bleed (true enough to bleed)
But now you feel that you've got nothing left
But if there's nothing to lose babe
Then there's nothing to gain

I said walk away, ah yeah, walk away, baby baby, walk away
Ah no walk away, ah yeah, walk away, baby baby, walk away

You know I'd still hold you if I could
It's hard not to try and change, try to change your mind
I'm a pillar of salt I want you to understand me
Cause this is the last time, it's the last time
I ever look behind

(Chorus)

Amy:
Walk away, ah no, walk away,
baby baby, baby baby, walk away
Repeat

(Repeat)
Emily:
Don't you know we used to walk
In each others' arms
Hand in hand
That's what you said to me baby yeah
Now the moon
Is a sliver in our eyes
We stumble
Walking on broken glass

Walk away, ah no, walk away, baby baby, baby baby, walk away
(repeat)

I said you've got to know by now...
