Walk Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We used to walk in each other arms
"It was one on one," that's what you said
Now the moon is a sliver in our eye
We stumble bleeding on this broken glass

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I said walk away, yeah

[Verse 2]
Now we're crossing from the sacred ground
Where we once held each other, and each other's names
And the words are sparse, and we feel so profound
But babe you know all I feel, honey, I feel so ashamed

[Chorus]
Ah 'cause there was, there was too much repetition
Ah you know you know you know
You know we're past the point of sane, ah oh
All this broken glass we left behind
It won't let us make a clean, clean

[Chorus]
I said walk away
Ah yeah, walk away
Oh no, walk away
Baby baby, walk away
Ah oh, I said walk away
Ah yeah, walk away
Oh no, walk away
Baby baby, walk away

[Bridge]
There was a time when we gave everything
And it was true babe, true enough to bleed
(True enough to bleed baby)
But now you feel that you've got nothing left
If there's nothing to lose babe
Ah babe, don't you know by now
Then there's nothing to gain

[Chorus]
Ah no, walk away
Ah no, walk away
Oh baby baby, walk away

[Verse 3]
You know I'd still hold you if I could
Its hard not to try and change, try to change your mind
I'm a pillar of salt and I want you to understand me
'Cause honey this is the last time, it's the last time

[Chorus]
I ever look behind
Ah yeah, walk away
Ah no, walk away
Baby baby, walk away
All right, let's go

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Ah, I said walk away
Ah yeah, walk away
Ah no, walk away
Baby baby, walk away
Ah no, I said walk away
(Don't you know we used to walk)
Come on now baby, walk away
(In each others arms)
I said close your eyes, walk away
(Hand in hand)
Baby baby, try to listen to me I want to tell you
(That's what you said to be baby yeah)
Now walk away
(Now the moon)
Ah yeah walk away
(Is a sliver in our eyes)
Try to learn to look inside walk away
(And we stumble)
Baby baby, baby baby, baby baby
(Walking on broken glass)
I said walk away, come on now baby
Walk away
I said listen to me
Walk away, baby baby
Now I've got something that I want to tell you
Now walk away
Ah yeah, walk away
Ah no, walk away
Ah baby, I said you've got to know by now
Come on

What did Indigo Girls say about "Walk Away"?

Amy Ray told Kristi Reeve in 1995:

‘Walk Away’ I felt like, when I look back on that song, I feel that it has potential if I could figure out how to change it a little. I don’t know it’s a little too- there’s some images that are a little too melodramatic in that song.
