You brace and hold it all inside It's more than you can stand No-one around even tries Tries to understand
Don't turn away, don't turn away Come out swinging, come out alone They're in your way, they're in your way But as long as you're swinging Straight then you'll get by
Your pacing's wearing out a line Right beside your bed The scene replays a million times Stuck inside your head
And though you stay in place Your mind escapes Read between the lies Smiles on your face You fake like you're OK
Don't turn away, don't turn away Come out swinging, out on your own They're in your way, they're in your way You may be stinging, but you'll get by Don't turn away, don't turn away Come out swinging, never alone again The pain inside can guide your way
Midnight, no sleep though Inside, you scream to No one, hears you for Daylight, prove me today One more try
Don't turn away, don't turn away Come out swinging, come out alone They're in your way, they're in your way You may be stinging, but you'll get by Don't turn away, don't turn away Come out swinging, never alone again The pain inside Leads you (leads you) through so you'll get by
