[Lyrics]

What do you do when you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?

I was naïve
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 and it hurts my soul
Cuz 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
Cuz I, 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
Get away, walk away, walk away

I should have known
I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion

Now I've been licking my wounds
But the venom, the venom seems deeper
We both can seduce
But darling you hold me prisoner

I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
and I'm feigning for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need

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 gasp for air
I am smothered in despair it's never over, over
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer, let it be over, over

Inside I'm screaming
Begging, pleading
No more
Ah ah

My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds, oh it reminds me me of you

Oh it hurts my soul
Cuz 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
Cuz I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need oh

I'm about to break
I cant stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm feigning for a cure
Every step that 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

Yea
Oh...
I said...
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya

I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, get away, walk away

5:22..is that an instrument or his high pitch?

[LatestPopeye]

I'm pretty sure its von's vocals, but not 100% sure...

[cougarthespian]

THE RIFFFFFFFF!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! 4:51...mulitple eargasms

[shulleeee]

I didn't evcen know he could sing this low. I personally like his high stuff better but damn... von smith is my hero.

[fAshSon]

In my opinion, I think this is probably the hardest song in Stripped. Accidentally heard this cover bcus c'mon, do you see any guys doing this cover. Von is super super super super talented, I was hoping he would drown in the song but every now and then he hit a high note and it was saved. Though I thought the arranging could do better, SUPPORT!

HE TRULY INSPIRES ME...

[TheMessage10]

For the sheer range involved not only in the opening low growls and the countertenor riffs, but also in the whistle notes, this is one of the best tracks out there. These vocals just can't be matched.

[ASAMOAH24]

this is genius

[Queenietcm]

i gasped for his perfection.

[MrButler124]

@Wagnerlover777 okay i see hahahah and really she was? wooww hahaha and sooo is an Eb8 higher than a G#7?

[Wagnerlover777]

@MrButler124 Well, Adam Lopez has an E-flat 8, Georgia Brown was stricken from the record for not actually proving that she hit a G10. Her highest note was a G8. And whistle is totally based on the person, I'm just giving general stats from my experience.

[chenispeese]

He has as much raw talent and potential as anyone I've ever heard. I think considering his range, control over all registers, and his age, he could one day become one of the greatest singers of his time, or even pop music history. But he needs some technical training and development (note: technical training does not necessarily mean classical/traditional vocal technique). If he were to tone down the dramatics here and focus a bit more on the emotion, it would be a better performance overall.

[MrButler124]

@Wagnerlover777 heller um whistle is in it's on reg. and um adam lopez and gerogia brown and mariah carey beat those notes:) mariah: G#7 adam:forgot hahah Gergia:G10:) and the whislte depend on where you start. like one person's whistle may start at one note but another's may start at another note.:) correct right?
