"Look Away" lyrics

"Look Away"

Two sides to three stories
Never whine and forget about it this time
If you want what you've already got, look away
Toughen up, Valentine's Day
Wasn't meant for my kind anyway
There's no leaving a forever thing, so look away

Take me out to the lake
Break it down and dive into our mistakes
Take me in to the fire
It's just us even for a little while
There's nothing to say, look away

At seventeen your hair was gold
You bet me once we never get this old
Nobody tells you that you might one day, look away
Through the door I can see the light
I'm not surprised he's always been a good guy
It's a game that we both learned how to play, look away

Take me out to the lake
Break it down and dive into our mistakes
Take me in to the fire
It's just us even for a little while
There's nothing to say, look away

Can your first still be your last?
A little bit of shame and a mountain of a past
Nobody wrote the perfect book
On a life without a second look
I won't close the door with all this rain
If there's nobody to blame

Take me out to the lake
Break it down and dive into our mistakes
Take me in to the fire
It's just us and for a little while
There is nothing to say

Toughen up, Valentine's Day
Wasn't meant for our kind anyway
If you want what you've already got, look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
