From the recording Things I Couldn't Say
"How Do I Walk Away?" is a vulnerable and heartbreaking song about trying to let go of someone you thought would be in your life forever. It’s about standing in the ruins of something once so full of love, now forced to figure out how to move forward when nothing feels the same.
The lyrics reflect that deep, aching confusion — when your heart is still holding on, even after the goodbye. The chorus asks the questions that live in the silence after a breakup: How do you get them out of your head? How do you forget their words? And the bridge cuts even deeper, wondering if it’s time to let go of the promises, to accept that maybe all that’s left are the lies we told ourselves to keep believing.
"How Do I Walk Away?" doesn’t try to fix the pain — it sits in it. It gives voice to the part of you that’s still hurting, still wondering, still trying to figure out how to leave someone who once felt like home.
Lyrics
When I'm alone at night, I think of
Everything you and I could have been if you didn't leave
Now I'm alone and I can't breathe
How do I get you out of my head?
How do I forget everything you said?
But how does it hurt me in ways I can’t even try to explain?
Oh, how the hell do I just walk away?
Never thought I’d get caught up in
Everything when I promised myself I’d stay away
Now here we are, and still I can't breathe
How do I get you out of my head?
How do I forget everything you said?
But how does it hurt me in ways I can’t even try to explain?
Oh, how the hell do I just walk away?
Is it time to leave behind
Everything you promised to provide?
Is it time to accept that I
Was willing to be satisfied with lies?
How do I get you out of my head?
How do I forget everything you said?
But how does it hurt me in ways I can’t even try to explain?
Oh, how the hell do I just walk away?
