While I Was Lookin Away
Seeking refuge in a world that’s left me alone
I pushed away and they ran
Now I'm so far from home
You couldn’t tell
That I needed you
You couldn’t tell
That I was afraid
I couldn’t tell you that I didn’t know what to do
I didn’t know that I
Was losing my way
I couldn't look you in the eye
So I just looked away
And while I wasn’t lookin the whole world made the change
Now I'm left behind on an empty stage
Too afraid to stay
And far too tired . . . to try running away
