Don’t Turn Away
Your Plaything
Don’t Turn Away
Verse 1
The music fades into the background light
But I can feel you in the heat of the night
You’re just a breath away, but oceans too
Like there’s a war behind your eyes I can’t move through
I raise my hand, but I don’t say much
Just hoping you remember what we were made of
Every second feels like it might break
If I reach too fast, if I make one mistake
Pre-Chorus
But I’m standing right here, don’t look away
Don’t let this moment slip into yesterday
If you still feel even half the spark
Stay where you are in the dark
Chorus
Don’t turn away when I’m this close
When every part of me already knows
We’re one step from falling back in
To everything we swore would end
Look at me like you used to do
Like I’m still someone you once knew
Don’t let this silence say goodbye
Not when we’re still eye to eye
Verse 2
Your fingers twitch like you might reach mine
But you hold yourself back every time
And I can’t tell if it’s fear or pride
That’s keeping you on the other side
I want to tell you it’s still the same
But I don’t know if you feel that flame
So I just stand here, hoping you’ll stay
Not drift away
Pre-Chorus
If you’re halfway gone, don’t let it show
If you still care, don’t let me go
We don’t need words, just one small sign
That you’re still mine
Chorus
Don’t turn away when I’m this close
When every part of me already knows
We’re one step from falling back in
To everything we swore would end
Look at me like you used to do
Like I’m still someone you once knew
Don’t let this silence say goodbye
Not when we’re still eye to eye
Bridge
We don’t have to fix what we broke tonight
Just stay in this fragile light
If we’re falling, let it be slow
So I’ll know… so I’ll know
Final Chorus
Don’t turn away when I’m this close
I’m holding on to what we both know
That love doesn’t always survive
But it can still feel alive
Look at me and don’t pretend
This is where it has to end
If there’s even a trace of why
Don’t turn away this time
Outro
Just stay…
look at me…
don’t turn away…
