turn your head
when I arrive
make like you
don’t see
why would you
want to see
little old me
why would you
want to
behold my face
turn away
scoff at my words
feign interest
then turn and
run
TURN
AND
RUN
I have nothing
of interest
nothing you want
to hear
I’m a broken soul
lost and afraid
no one wants
to see that
no one wants
to know
no one wants
what I’m giving
away for
free
no one
wants
ME
sinking in
to this old
familiar ache
I cry
and I wail
yet still you turn
tail
TURN
AND
RUN
I’m no good
I’m no fun
There’s nothing
to see
here
there’s no
reason to be
here
TURN
AND
RUN
It’s all they
ever do
TURN
AND
RUN
why should you
be any different
