If I Turn Away - October Project

If i turn away

From the shadow i see in your eyes

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 smile

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

If i turn away
