“Love, Look Away” LYRICS
I have wished before,
I will wish no more…
Love, look away!
Love, look away from me.
Fly when you pass my door,
Fly and get lost at sea.
Call it a day.
Love, let us say we’re through,
No good are you for me,
No good am I for you.
Wanting you so, I try too much.
After you go, I cry too much.
Love, look away.
Lonely though I may be,
Leave me and set me free,
Look away, look away, look away from me.
Wanting you so, I try too much.
After you go, I cry too much.
Love, look away.
Lonely though I may be,
Leave me and set me free,
Look away, look away, look away from me.
