Walk Away

Walk Away
SS by Tiffany

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

"Justin?" Britney asked with a tear stained face.

"What?" he snapped.

"I just wanted you to know, I still believe in us." Britney whispered walking away, away from the hurtful media transcript relationship.

Got caught in your web and I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed and devoured completely

"Justin Timberlake released 'Cry Me A River' today. It's already made it the top of the charts. How do you feel about that man?" Carson asked smiling.

"Ah man, it's great. Awesome." Justin smiled feeling relieved that Britney said it was OK.

And it hurts my soul cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in, I can't stop my sufferin'
I hate to show that I lost control
Cause I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from

"Mama, I just need a break for awhile. I need to take the time to walk away from a lot of things." Britney said as she watched the video.

"Baby, you sure?" Lynn asked her daughter.

"Yeah." Britney sighed stepping onto the plane.

I need to get away from you, need to walk away from you
get away, walk away, walk away. . .

"I just need to get away from everything." Britney said to herself.

"Get away from him, the media. Everyone."

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

"Britney, how ya doing?" Carson asked in an excited Britney.

"Great! I can't wait till the tour this summer." Britney exclaimed. Inside she was screaming, wishing she'd be done with this. She still had the pain inside her from the man that claimed to love her.

Now I've been licking my wounds, but the venom seeps deeper
We both can seduce, but darlin' you hold me prisoner

"Justin?" Britney asked as she walked down the streets with Laura Lynn.

"Hey Britney." Justin said smiling. They embraced and smiled at each other. Cameron came out of the store holding about 10 bags. She hadn't noticed Britney and Laura Lynn.

"Justin, hold these for me while I go get my sunglasses." Cameron said forcing a smile, and a hi to Britney and Laura Lynn.

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

"Britney?" a sober Justin asked.

"Yeah?" A drunken Britney asked.

"Wanna go back to the hotel?" he asked. Britney wasn't sure whether to or not. She couldn't even think straight.

"Yeah." Britney smiled as once again, she was trapped in his trance.

Oh, I can't mend this torn stat 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 you, need to walk away from you
Get away, walk away, walk away. . .

"Britney, this was a mistake." Justin said as Britney woke up. She jumped and hurriedly covered herself up.

"Justin!?" she shrieked. Oh god. What have I done? She thought to herself.

Every time I try to grasp for air
I am 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, oh. . .

"I now pronounce you man and wife." the preacher said to Jason and Britney. They shared their kiss and went back to the hotel. Britney and Jason loved each other deeply. Only, that's what Jason thought. Britney still had deep feelings over Justin, even though everything he's done to her hurt her so horribly.

Inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more

Now what to do, my heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true, each beat reminds me of you

"God Britney, what were you thinking?" Lynn asked her daughter.

"I don't know."

"Britney, you didn't do this because of Justin?"

"No mama, yes. I mean I still love him. No matter what he's done, I'll always love him." Britney cried laying her head on her mothers shoulder.

It hurts my soul, cause I can't go
All these walls are caving in, I can't stop my suffering'
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cause I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
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

need to get away from you, need to walk away from you
get away, walk away, walk away

Only thing I need to do
Is walk away from you

"Bye Justin." Britney said as she walked away from him. Everything he had done to her was in the past now. She didn't need to put up with him coming home drunk every other night. She grabbed her suitcase and took their 3 children to the car.

"Britney please?" Justin said pleading with her.

"Justin. No. Just, let go. The marriage is over. It's over." Britney cried starting the car. She began to think about her life from now on.
