Lyrics[]
Gabriella:
I guess I should've known better
To believe I'm a lucky chain, oh
I lent my heart out forever
And finally learned each other's names
I tell myself, this time it's different
No goodbyes, cause eyes can't bear to see it
I'll never survive on one that's coming
If I stay, ooh no!
Just walk away! Oh, and don't look back
Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late, oh, just walk away!
Oh, just walk away!
(Walk, walk, walk away)
Oh, just walk away!
I've got to let it go, ooh
Start protecting my heart and soul
Cause I don't think I'll survive a goodbye again
Not again!
Just walk away! Oh, and don't look back
Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late, before It's too late!
Oh, just walk away!
Walk away, walk away, yeah!
(Walk, walk, walk away!)
Walk away, walk away, all right
(Walk away, walk, walk away)
Walk away, walk away
(Walk, walk, walk away!)
Walk away, walk away, oh, ooh
Gabriella:
I guess I should've known better
To believe I'm a lucky chain, oh
I lent my heart out forever
And finally learned each other's names
I tell myself, this time it's different
No goodbyes, cause eyes can't bear to see it
I'll never survive on one that's coming
If I stay, ooh no!
Just walk away! Oh, and don't look back
Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late, oh, just walk away!
Ooh, just walk away!
(Walk, walk, walk away)
Aye aye, aye yeah
I really wish I could blame you
But I know that it's no one's fault
No, no, no, no
A Cinderella with no shoe
And a Prince that doesn't know he's lost
He says that her face is so familiar
Each goodbye with just the same old song
But this time I will not surrender!
'Cause I'm gone, ooh, yeah!
Just walk away! Ooh, and don't look back
Cause if my heart breaks, It's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late, oh, just walk away!
Oh, just walk away!
(Walk, walk, walk away)
Oh, just walk away!
I've got to let it go, ooh
Start protecting my heart and soul
Cause I don't think I'll survive a goodbye again
Not again!
Just walk away! Oh, and don't look back
Cause if my heart breaks, it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong, but I can't take that
Before it's too late, before It's too late!
Oh, just walk away!
Walk away, walk away, yeah!
(Walk, walk, walk away!)
Walk away, walk away, all right
(Walk away, walk, walk away)
Walk away, walk away
(Walk, walk, walk away!)
Walk away, walk away, oh, ooh
