Turn Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I guess you know what it's all about
All the answers seem so clear to you
You know just exactly what do you want to do
And never allow a feeling of doubt
I guess you see where your road can lead
And all the pain that you have in store
For now you have chosen to lock every door
And find on your own what you think you need
(Think you need)
Turn away, find a way, your own
I'll be here waiting for you to say
Turn away, find a way, your own
I'll still be calling your name
And if I tried to show you how
Tomorrow is never like yesterday
Would you change your mind and see things my way?
(Try and and see things my way)
Or are you afraid that I'll bring you down?
(Bring you down)
Turn away, find a way, your own
I'll be here waiting for you to say
Turn away, find a way, your own
(Turn away)
I'll still be calling your name
Turn away, find a way of your own
I'll be here waiting for you to say
Turn away, find a way, your own
(Turn away)
I'll still be calling your name
Turn away, find a way of your own
I'll be here waiting for you to say
Turn away, find a way, your own
(Turn away)
I'll still be calling your name
Turn away, find a way of your own
I'll be here waiting for you to say
Turn away, find a way, your own
(Turn away)
I'll still be calling your name
