If I Turn Away by October Project Lyrics

If I turn away
From the shadow I see in your smile
If I turn away
When you reach for my hand
It’s only to keep you from seeing me

Turn away
From the echo of love in your eyes
When I turn away
From the questions you ask
It’s only to keep you from seeing

My love, my love
My love, my love

I would want you beside me
I would want you to stay
I would want you
But not this way

If I turn away
From the promise of waking in your arms
If I turn away
When you reach for my heart
It’s only to keep you from seeing
My love, my love
My love, my love

I would want you beside me
I would want you to stay
I would want you
But not this way
