Keep It Away

Yeah!

Wasn't I not there for you?
Did I ever let you down?
Did I once ever hurt your heart
Or ever turn away?

Didn't I not bear it for you?
Didn't I not wear that crown?
Didn't I help you quiet the fears
And keep the clouds at bay?

But in your heart, it's still the same
Some things just never change

'Cause I know the pain he caused you
And I know the scars on which you stand
And I know the black you bring, so just
Keep it away, keep it away!

'Cause I know the pain he caused you
And I know the dark from which you stand
And I know the hell you break, so just
Keep it away, keep it away from me
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
Keep it away (I know, I know)

Did I ever take from you?
Did I ever pull away?
Did I not help you clean the wounds
And help it all to heal?

Someday, maybe you'll know
Bitter winds don't always blow

'Cause I know the pain he caused you
And I know the scars on which you stand
And I know the black you bring, so just
Keep it away, keep it away

'Cause I know the pain he caused you
And I know the dark from which you stand
And I know the hell you break, so just
Keep it away, keep it away from me

You know I've tried to see
But there's just no way
The darkness that you bring
Keep it away

'Cause I know the pain he caused you
And I know the scars on which you stand
And I know the black you bring, so just
Keep it away, keep it away

'Cause I know the pain he caused you
And I know the dark from which you stand
And I know the hell you break, so just
Keep it away, keep it away from me
Keep it away, oh, keep it away
