Walk On By

Basically about someone who denies their love. They fear that they are not perfect enough, that what's going on in their life would be too much for them, and that ultimate love wants to screen them from it by pushing them away, eventhough they don't want

 

Just walk on by me

Walk on by me baby

Just walk on by

Forget my name and walk on by

 

I knew sometime before our hearts grew old

I knew when we were bold

The world was ours, we were winning it all

The world was ours

What went wrong

 

Just walk on by me

Walk on by me baby

Just walk on by

Forget my name and walk on by

 

Good to see you baby

I cannot lie

But for you own good you must deny

The things you saw in me

And Walk on by

 

I wish I was the person

I use to be inside

But I can't take more heartache

The pain would be too much to hide

Until we get ourselves together

Just walk on by

 

Just walk on by me

Walk on by me baby

Just walk on by

Forget my name and walk on by

 

I see that beauty

I see it in your eyes

The way you smiled at me

Made me feel alive

We could not anticipate

How things would go awry

It didn't make much sense

So please just walk on by

 

Never said I didn't love you

Baby that would be a lie

But something that seemed perfect

Could never be reached

I guess it would be better

If we said our goodbyes

As hard as this may be baby

We must go our separate ways

And just walk on by

 

Just walk on by

Walk on by

When I see you around

I feel warm inside

But this could never be

So please walk on by

It was written to a tune I had stuck in my head, I think it was a Madder Rose Song

[Katrina]

This is good.
Easy to relate to.
And catchy.

This reads like a song. I wondered if it was written to be lyrics? It is really lovely and sad. Funny, because I would think you wrote it for me because you capture the exact theme of what is going on in my life right now. Maybe you are him disguised as someone else. (i don't really think so) This piece has a really beautiful flow though it has a heartbreaking sentiment. Thanks for sharing with WC.

peace,
