Look Away Lyrics

This time we run, this time we hide
This time we draw on all the fire we have inside
We need some time to find a place
Where I can wipe away the madness from your face
Our name is out, our name is known
Our name is everywhere but who knows where we've flown
I never meant to kill a man
But I will show you how to live like no one can
So look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
I met you wild in a snowed up town
Where I was waiting tied and bound to be sent down
Then I broke loose, you weren't around
So I raised banks and trains until I tracked you down
Now look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
You followed me when I said no
You lay with me when there was nowhere safe to go
We made some friends but now it's done
I always knew that we would never find the sun
So look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
So look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away
From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away
From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul

The ex-girlfriend is just rubbing in the fact that she moved on and that it was hiss loss of breaking up. It is so obvious that he's not over her.It's really sad.

man..this song is so sad...and to me it's about a couple that decided they would be better off and friends...they were trying to be friends but then the girl ends up getting another guy..and he's happy 4 her..but he can't deny that it still hurts him to see her w/ some1 else..and even if they both accept that it's over...there's always gonna be that small part inside that's gonna still want her

i totally get what this guy is saying. i am going through the same thing right now with my ex....we mutually broke up to try and save the relationship....agreeing to be friends, and now he's seeing somebody new. i still love him, but at the same time as a friend i have to try to be happy for him. hardest thing i've ever had to do!

Cover art for Look Away lyrics by Chicago

There's always a day when parting has to come in a relationship. When I first got to know you, it was in year 2002, we hardly know each other. Today, when everything is clearly over, we still do not know each other well, it doesn't matter. I remember I'd said before to myself that I wouldn't want to go into a relationship with you, but neither do I want to say goodbye to you. If there's ever a day when we no longer keep in contact, this song best describe my words to you. It happened. If you ever see me on the street one day, look away girl, cos I don't know what to say to you, but you'll always have my blessings, forever. The last time we met up is on this year's Valentine's Day. The last time I heard from you is on the 22nd Jun. The last time we were on the phone, was on your b'day. This is the longest goodbye we've ever had... You'll always be on my mind, forever be...
