Lyrics as Thought

[GuitarmanIII]

This is a song by Ben Harper called Walk Away. You can interpret it any way you wish...but I think it may have some personal meaning to folks here:

 

Oh no- here comes that sun again.

And (that) means another day without you my friend.

And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself.

And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else.

 

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.

But sometimes - sometimes,

you just have to walk away - walk away.

 

With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?

But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun.

 

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.

But sometimes - sometimes,

you just have to walk away - walk away and head for the door.

 

We've tried the goodbye so many days.

We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray.

They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free,

but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery.

They say time will make all this go away,

but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.

And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down

And once again, you my friend, are nowhere to be found.

 

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.

But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door.

You just walk away - walk away - walk away.

You just walk away, walk on, turn and head for the door.

great lyrics. I'm sure that sums up how a lot of people feel here, including myself

[arrrrffff]

"And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else."

 

"They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free,

but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery."

 

It's what I live by and get confused when your partner doesn't recipricate.

 

You tell them from your heart that I could take all this pain because being with you makes me happy. You tell them that no matter how successful, happy, how many friends you have or how many fans you have or the dream home/car/ career you have that your imcomplete without them. You want him/ her...

 

but sometimes people just want more. She she/ he leaves.

 

Deepak Chopra said that the person that your are with now is in all likeihood the person you need right now. He said why would you want to look elsewhere, when you have someone that loves you in front of you. Together you can make anything happen and resolve all issues and be loved.

 

Instead your ex decides to leave you for someone/thing else.
