Look Away

Intro

Verse:

When we both agreed as lovers

We were better off as friends

That's how it had to be

Yeah, that's how it had to be

I tell you I'm fine,

But sometimes I just pretend

Wish you were holding me,

Wish you were still holding me, oooh

Prechorus:

I just never thought

That I would be replaced so soon

I wasn't prepared

To hear those words from you

I know I wanted to be free

Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be

Chorus:

A

But if you see me walking by,

D

And the tears are in my eyes,

A D E

Look away, baby, look away.

And if we meet on the street some day,

D

And I don't know what to say,

A D E

Look away, baby, look away.
