Turn You Away
Tell me now, in her, have you found all you've been searching for
Or does all she do leave you begging for so much more
Is the not knowing what to do, which way from here to go sting you to your core
The burning within your soul is not going to stop because you're trying to wish it away
Right there in your heart is where it's going to stay
So go right on believing it's all going to keep on being okay
Upon awaking tomorrow
It will be you that keeps wrestling with the sorrow
To which holds you down everyday
She don't truly care about your being happy in anyway
So long as she gets what she wants
And yet what it is exactly she wants is the one thing she's not even sure of
What you both feel between you may seem like it is, but it's not anywhere near love
Pretending is for the moment only an easy way out
What do you do however, when there's nothing but lots of lonely doubts
And those nasty regrets hit hard and run ever so deep
Leaves those who are normally strong to feel vulnerable and week
So you keep holding on tightly to her until all of her screaming is done and gone
But when it's over can you really believe there's nothing at all wrong
You have to be thinking about and knowing how it you can't put up with all this for too long
Before you will tell her goodbye
Yet the words never come out cause you won't even try
You just never could stand to see any woman cry
So you let your life pass you on by
Why?
Do you think she's doing the same thing for you
She's afraid to be alone and you are the one to which she knows time after time she can run
to
It's you that are stuck there getting to pull her through
And then when you need her for anything at all, what exactly will she do
Stand there with you and face it together or run the other way with everything she's got
I'm the one still here holding on ever so tight because I'm in love with you
For everything you are
For everything you are not
I could never run the other way I would be standing there right by your side
I would face it with you there will never be any reason for me to hide
So if and when it does all, with her, fade to gray
I'm the one who will never turn you away
