Walk Away Lyrics

This time
I gotta put my guard down
Pick myself up off the ground
Take the pain

It'll pass
The swelling never really lasts
But the scar remains
Remind me that I'm still living

Well it's not too late
And it's really not worth the fight
No one's right
Well it's time to walk away

Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Well the bigger that you come
Well the harder you're gonna fall

Walk away
Walk away

Did you win or maybe
Did you lose?
Now you're gonna lick your wounds anyway
When it comes back to you

When you fall
You're gonna need a parachute
Or a used pair of shoes to go
And walk away

Well it's not too late
And it's really not worth the fight
No one's right
Well it's time to walk away

Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Well the bigger that you come
Well the harder you're gonna fall

Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Hey, Walk away
Hey, walk away

Well the bigger that you come
Well the harder you're gonna fall

Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's about facing your situations head on (eg, a relationship) but be prepared for what could possibly go wrong. Rather than trying to hide away from your situations, just deal with it and if things go wrong, just Walk Away
