Walk Away

Christina Aguilera

I was naive, your love was like candy
Artificially sweet, I was deceived by the wrapping,
Got caught in your web and I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed and devoured completely

CHORUS:
And it hurts my soul
Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving' in
I can't stop my sufferin'
I hate to show I've lost control
Cause I keep goin' right back to the one thing
That I need to walk away from

I need to get away from ya,
To walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away

I should have known that I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smoke,
It was all an illusion
Now I've been lickin' my wounds
But the venom seeps deeper
We both can seduce
But darlin' you hold me prisoner

CHORUS 2:
Oh I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure,
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take leads to one mistake,
I keep goin' right back to the one thing
That I need to walk away from
I'm about to break and can't stop this ache,
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep goin' right back to the one thing that I need
To walk away from

I need to get away from ya,
Need to walk away from ya,
Get away, walk away, walk away

Every time I try to grasp for air,
I am smothered in despair
It's never over, over
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer
Let it be over, over

Inside I'm screaming
Begging, pleading no more

Now what to do my heart has been bruised,
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you

OUT CHORUS:
It hurts my soul cause I can't let go
All these walls are cavin' in
I can't stop my sufferin'
I hate to show that I lost control
Cause I keep goin' right back to the one thing that I need, oh
I'm about to break
And I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiending for a cure
Every step I take leads to one mistake,
I keep going right back to the one thing that I need, oh
I can't mend, this torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return, what did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
To walk away from
