[spoken]
What do you do
When you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?
I was naive
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping
Got caught in your web
And I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely
Oh, oh
And it hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
'Cause I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya
Need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I should have known
That I was used for amusement (for amusement, no)
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion
Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
But the venom seeps deeper (deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce
But darlin' you hold me prisoner (prisoner)
Oh, oh
I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, oh
I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Everytime I try to grasp for air
I get smothered in despair,
It's never over, over, oh
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer
Let it be over, over, ooh
Inside I'm screaming,
Begging, pleading, no more
Ah, ooh
Now what to do
My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you
Ooh,
It hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
'Cause I
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, oh
Oh, I'm about to break
And I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure, no
Every step I take
Leads to the one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, oh
I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
Oh, whoa
I said...
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
Only thing I need to do
Is walk away from you

vocal this song is by far the greatest(in my opinion) off the album. its my favorite christina song and i listen to it when im sad/depressed. her voice is amazing
The song is great!! It's kinda soul..
I don't think it's only about her father, I think it's about an ex-boyfriend, who did some pretty mean things to her, but she thought she loved him, so she didn't leave..And when she realized it, she was, as she sing "caught in your web"

vocal Christina had the perfect voice for this song. She sings it flawlessly and really pours her heart out. At one point, she even sounds like she's going to cry! I love this song. It's absolutely amazing!

vocal i think this song is about an abusive relationship. One in which she was blinded by an unrequited love. Thinking that she was doing best for herself by staying with the man she thought loved her where as she was only a victim, sounds like he took advantage of her. She cant get away from him and she wants to so bad. I love the hole metaphorically speaking thing she has going on too...... Jeez young love aye thanx but no thanx
