Don't Turn Away

[Verse 1]

I don't know why you're not talking to me

I don't know what went wrong

Two people who had so much together

Really ought to get along, yeah

But something started to change inside of you

And right out of the blue

Two friends with such a lot to give

I don't know where you are, what you're going through now

What are we trying to prove?

[Chorus]

'Cause when this world's too big to take on your shoulders

Feels like love is in vain

You could break down in my arms, babe

But it really hurts when you turn away

And I can take the look you give me, believe me

I know you are in pain

I can take the names you call me

I can't stand when you turn away

Don't turn away

[Verse 2]

'Cause I can feel you all around me

But you keep me here in the dark

And each time we try to settle down

Something seems to keep us apart, don't it, baby?

You and me, we're on the outside

Pretending we don't care

Too proud to show our feelings

Open up the love you know we could share

Ooh, and I will always be there

[Chorus]

'Cause when this world's too big to take on your shoulders

Feels like love is in vain

You could reach out for my hand, babe

But it really hurts when you turn away

And I can take the look you give me, believe me

I know you're in pain

And I can take the names you call me

But I can't stand when you turn away

[Harmonica Solo]

[Chorus]

(Oh yeah)

And when the world's too big to take on your shoulders

Feels like your love is in vain

You could reach out for my hand, child

But it really hurts when you turn away

And I can take the look you give me, believe me

I know you are in pain

I can take the names you call me

I can't stand when you turn away

Don't turn away
