Barlow Girl - She Walked Away Lyrics






She couldn't take one more day
Home was more her prison now
Independence called out
She had to get it

A fight was all she needed
To give her reason
She slammed the door with no goodbye
And knew that it was time

Now she's driving too fast
She didn't care to glance behind
And through her tears she laughed
It's time to kiss the past goodbye

I'm finally on my own
Don't try to tell me no
There's so much more for me
Just watch what I will be

She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leaving
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away

Not a day goes by
For the one she's left behind
They're always asking why
And thoughts of her consume their mind

God please let her know
The love we tried to show
We'd promise anything
If you'd just bring her home

She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leaving
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away

Tell her we love her
And tell her she's wanted
One more thing God
Tell her please come home
Please come home

She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leaving
She walked away
She left all she had believed in
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leaving
She walked away
She left all she had believed in

The choice is yours alone now
Tell me how this story ends

[Spoken:]
While the son was still a long way off
His father saw him, and felt compassion for him
And ran and embraced him and kissed him
"Let us celebrate for this child of mine was dead
And he has come back to life,
He was lost and now he is found"
And they began to celebrate
[Luke 15:20 and 24]

    So sad story *snif

    This song is soooo underrated

  4. R.... C....

    This song is exactly what I did when I was 21 years old. I hated my family for always mistreating me, I had only one friend and she married my brother, so I felt very alone and just wanted to find my own hapiness. I met someone online that lived in another state away, left without explaining, I was just very angry for how my family always made fun of me and beat me down. Unfortunately the guy I left with was not a good person and from the first night with him I was violently raped. I was so humiliated and ashamed of myself for making such a rash decision going with someone I knew nothing about. But because of my family, I had a lot of pride, and decided no matter what I went through on my own with this man or another, it was better than going back home to be told "I told you so" and confirm all their beliefs about me that I was stupid and unlovable. So despite being raped the first night, I stayed there for 5 months. I made many more poor choices while I was there, and it was 5 months of horrific experiences. My real mom was the only one really concerned about me, and begged me to come home. It was around my birthday she got concert tickets to see Kieth Urban that she persuaded me. I was believing I would go back after the concert, but once I got away from my abusive boyfriend, I came to my senses and realized I suffered enough, and going home didn't mean I needed to be around all my family, just the ones that really cared. I learned a lot from walking away, painfully. But I grew into myself more and became independent. My family didn't change, but the choices I made while I was away changed me. Not only did I learn how to stand on my own 2 feet, I also found God. In all the pain, I brought me to my knees. When I got home, I was radically different and set my mind to being an influence, and showing my family and others a better way to be. I'm not sure how I've personally influenced them or anyone else by my story, but I am still working on myself and doing my best to be changed continually "by the renewing of your mind", as it says in Romans 12:2. I am no one special today, but my hope is to one day be a motivational speaker or a counselor, or be in youth ministry of some kind to help those that have been abused, or need their story to be heard, validated, and affirmed in faith in God, and themselves. Thank you for reading mine.

    R.... C....

    Thank you for telling your story. You could've chose to stay silent, but you made the decision to speak out. Much respect and God bless.

    I've got this song in the english lesson😂😋

  15. T.... G....

    One of my all old time favorites. Have walked away from God's love and returned back into God's arms. Back home ,back to life. He's our first love. This song will always be beautiful. Luke 15:20-24

  16. H.... J....

    I walked away.

  17. R.... V....

    I feel like I’m right there.

  18. E.... L....

    The Prodigal Son...or in this case, the Prodigal Daughter. Never walking away from what I believe in!

  19. g.... ....

    This has always been one of my favorite songs but I was reminded of it recently as it is so prevalent right now. One of my closest friends is walking away from the Lord right now and it does consume my mind a lot and I've talked with her and am constantly praying for her! If any of you see this, please lift my friend up right now in prayer that she would come back to Jesus!! My heart hurts for her. :(

  20. J.... M....

    This is my story. Ten years ago I walked away from the conservative Mennonite Church and I never went back. A church full of sexual abuse and things getting swept under the rug. The day I walked away, I made a vow to myself, to take a stand for the girls still stuck in that situation with nowhere to turn. It's 10 years later, and I'm speaking out and telling our stories. I'm a helping hand when they want to leave. This song is powerful and made me cry because I was reminded of what I went through. It's hard for me to talk about it, because it was a church that I should have been able to trust.

    J.... M....

    Jess Miller Sadly those of God tend to hurt us the worst. I think it's because we trust them more than we would anyone else because they're suppose to have a connection more than to this world. My heart breaks reading your story. I am so sorry that happened to you. You are so much more! God values you more than anything! I'm proud of you for taking a stand and finding a way to make beauty from the pain! Thank God for people that stand up for the meek and wounded! My prayers and love go out to you! ♡♡♡♡ May healing continuously find you! ♡♡♡

  21. H.... L....

    Great track

  22. j.... ....

    Can someone explain what this song is exactly about? Is it about suicide?

    j.... ....

    It's about a girl who runs away from home.

    j.... ....

    jessi it's about a girl who walked away from Jesus and the prodigal son story they read is about a similar story in the Bible where the son runs away and goes further into sin but comes back to his father and his father embraces him and forgives him just like Jesus does the same for us.

  23. S.... F....

    i ran away before because of where i live i was deppresed still iam

    S.... F....

    Samuel Family and Friends Aw I'm sorry

  24. A.... R....

    My best friend ran away 3 months ago. She came back, and was iffrent, she was shy, quiet, and didn't trust anyone. When I asked her what happned, she would get mad and go home.

    A.... R....

    Just keep letting her know you're there for her. And remain patient. It's terrible when you want to help but you cant. If the only thing in your power to do is pray, don't think you're out of options. God can do anything, and furthermore he listens to us when we make requests. I'll pray for her as well!

    A.... R....

    Thank you. Her name is Kayla.

    A.... R....

    Pray for her. Don't give up on your friend

  25. S.... C....

    my song 😍

  26. E.... W....

    I interpret this song as me killing myself what it would do… my brothers so much younger would ask why… but why did sissy leave… sissy left because she needed her own space… forever.

    E.... W....

    Never walk away from your family. Because if you do then know that you are hurting EVERYONE around you. That you are hurting sisters who looked up to you. Know that that sister looks out the window for you even though it's been 5 yrs. Know that she cries herself to sleep at night because she thinks she is the reason you left. Never do it. My sister left when I was 10. I'm 15 now and still I look out the window for her blue car. My dad did the best, gave her the best. He made sure she was happy. Never leave your family. Sometimes I dream about what I would do when she comes back. Would I screen in her face about how much she hurt me. Would I cry at her feat and say I love you? I'll always love her though. I'll always look out the window she her. I'll NEVER lose faith! I miss you Abbie.

    M.... c....

    wow you are a wise girl... keep pressing on. He knows your struggle

  34. s.... p....

    BarlowGirl,you are doing a good choice for everyone,that you should believe and care and pray for everyone😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

  35. H.... T....

    The parable of the Prodigal Son was always my favorite. Even from a secular point of view, it speaks a message of unconditional love. Every person believes they know what is best for themselves, not just children. In my own life, it is my conflict with my father that always drove me away from home. Even as an adult, I have trouble speaking to him. I love him, and I envy his faith in God, a faith I just can't share. We are so far apart as people, that it is far too late for us to ever be father and son, but I use that to make a point to others.
    Parents, love your children. My father loves me dearly, but he was never available for me emotionally. He set me up for success in life, but I hated him for so long because of how he did it. Fathers especially, hug your sons. When they share their success with you, celebrate them. When they fail, don't make them fear your displeasure, more than the act of failing itself. And accept them for who they are. Mothers too. All your children really want is to make you proud and to know you love them.
    And to anyone who is at odds with your parents, know that they do love you. It took me many years to come to terms that my father did the best he could after my mother died. And I lost out on a relationship with a truly incredible person. I lost my faith, because my anger with my earthly father and my heavenly father clouded my judgement and my actions. And I can not bring myself to return to either as a son again.
    Don't let yourself, or your loved ones walk that path. Whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Agnostic, Wicca, or Tom Cruise, celebrate your family, and never allow them to feel like they are alone. The greatest gift you can give them, is to be there for them. Swallow your pride, ask for help, show your love and never give up on those you care about.

    A family friend ran away last night...she's 15...I want her to come home safe :"(

    K.... R....

    Praying for you and for her! God is so faithful to continually call people back to Him! My sister did a similar thing and was gone for a time but God would not leave her in her sin but faithfully called her until she returned to Him! I believe God will do the same for your friend! 💜 praying to that end...

    "She couldn't take one more day. Home was more a prison now. Independence called out. She had to get it. A fight was all she needed to give her a reason. She slammed the door with no good bye and knew that it was time."
    This is so my life right now. It's crazy how accurate. I would love to just walk away and leave this place for a few days without anyone else. Just me and God.

  51. K.... K....
