The Walk
Imogen Heap · Speak For Yourself (2005)
Stop that now, cos you and I were never meant to me
I think you better leave; itÂ’s not safe in her,
I feel a weakness coming on.
Alright then (Alright then) I can keep your number for a rainy day,
ThatÂ’s when its set, no mistakes no misbehaving,
I was doing so well, can we just be friends,
I feel a weakness coming on.
ItÂ’s not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I donÂ’t want to feel like this, Yeah,
No itÂ’s not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I donÂ’t want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.
Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself,
Stop that now; youÂ’re as close as it gets without touching me,
Oh now donÂ’t make it harder than it already is,
I feel a weakness coming on.
ItÂ’s not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I donÂ’t want to feel like this, Yeah,
No itÂ’s not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I donÂ’t want to feel like this, so that makes it all your fault.
Big trouble loosing control,
Primary resistance at a critical load,
On the double gotta get a hold,
Point of no return a second to go,
No response on any level, red alert this vessels under siege,
To a lower lever, systems failed, theyÂ’ve got control,
ThereÂ’s no way out, we are surrounded,
Give in, Give inÂ…..
Freeze, awake here forever, I feel a weakness coming on.
ItÂ’s not meant to be like this, not what I planned at all,
I donÂ’t want to feel like this, Yeah,
No itÂ’s not meant to be like this, itÂ’s just what I donÂ’t need,
Why make me feel like this, itÂ’s definitely all your fault.
Feel like this la la la la la la la la
ItÂ’s all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la
ItÂ’s all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la
ItÂ’s all your fault (Feel like this) la la la la la la la la
ItÂ’s all your fault
