Story Behind The Song

This song is about two people who are together and shouldn't be. They let it go on too long and they both know it. There's something that keeps it going...for better or worse.

Song Description

This is a break-up song that stung a bit. This is what happens when a relationship goes on longer than it should have.

Lyrics

IF I CHOOSE TO LET YOU IN
WOULD I LOSE MY MIND
AND COMPROMISE MYSELF
MY SOUL AND EVERYTHING
COULD IT BE AT LAST
EVERYTHING I NEED
TO GET AWAY FROM YOU
AND EVERYTHING YOU BRING TO ME

I'M TAKEN AWAY WITH THIS
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT
YOU TOLD ME IT'S OVER
AND NOW THAT I'M GONE HAS IT LEFT YOU
WITHOUT A DOUBT

(CHORUS)
IF I CAN'T WALK AWAY
WITH NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
YOU CAN'T LET GO
IT'S OVER DON'T HOLD ME YOU KNOW ME
IT'S OVER NOW
IF I CAN'T WALK AWAY
WITH NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
YOU CAN'T LET GO
IT'S OVER DON'T HOLD ME YOU KNOW ME
IT'S OVER NOW

IT'S BETTER LEFT UNSAID
SO TURN AND WALK AWAY
AS CONFUSSION SETTLES IN
AND MISERY PASSES BY
THIS SHOULD BE OUR LAST
DANCE WITH DESTINY
WE'VE TANGO'D LONG ENOUGH
TO TELL THAT WE DON'T NEED THIS STRAIN

I'M TAKEN AWAY WITH THIS
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT
YOU TOLD ME IT'S OVER
AND NOW THAT I'M GONE HAS IT LEFT YOU
WITHOUT A DOUBT



(CHORUS)
IF I CAN'T WALK AWAY
WITH NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
YOU CAN'T LET GO
IT'S OVER DON'T HOLD ME YOU KNOW ME
IT'S OVER NOW
IF I CAN'T WALK AWAY
WITH NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
YOU CAN'T LET GO
IT'S OVER DON'T HOLD ME YOU KNOW ME
IT'S OVER NOW
(BRIDGE)
AND NOW I SAY
WHAT I MEAN
AND I CAN'T GIVE
ANYTHING TO YOU
(guitar solo)
(CHORUS)
IF I CAN'T WALK AWAY
WITH NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
YOU CAN'T LET GO
IT'S OVER DON'T HOLD ME YOU KNOW ME
IT'S OVER NOW
IF I CAN'T WALK AWAY
WITH NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
YOU CAN'T LET GO
IT'S OVER DON'T HOLD ME YOU KNOW ME
IT'S OVER NOW
