Look the Other Way
Every time I see you I don’t know what to say
It’s like I’m looking at a different person
Talking to me with a crooked smile on your face
Always gotta wear it when you’re hurting
Keep it to yourself
And the bottle on the shelf
As far as I can tell you’re slowly dying
The poison in your mind
Keeps chasing every high
You say you’re doing fine
But I know that you’re lying
I’ve been waiting on a sign
But you never give me any indication
I can see it in your eyes
You’re so blinded by the danger that you’re facing
You won’t ever listen cuz you’re never playing fair
How can I get through to you if you don’t even care
About the things I say
Baby you look the other, you look the other way
Baby you look the other way
First your bouncing off the walls your head up in the clouds
Flying high until you hit the pavement
Tried to find a savior but he only brought you down
Your brain is wired but your heart is vacant
Pop another pill
Till the emptiness is filled
Won’t notice it until you’re slowly dying
The poison in your mind
Keeps chasing every high
You ignore me when I’m right
But I stay here trying
I’ve been waiting on a sign
But you never give me any indication
I can see it in your eyes
You’re so blinded by the danger that you’re facing
You won’t ever listen cuz you’re never playing fair
How can I get through to you if you don’t even care
About the things I say
Baby you look the other, you look the other way
Baby you look the other way
You’re living in a fantasy
But it’s only an illusion for you babe
Can you tell me honestly
Is it really worth the price you pay?
I’ve been waiting on a sign
But you never give me any indication
I can see it in your eyes
You’re so blinded by the danger that you’re facing
You won’t ever listen cuz you’re never playing fair
How can I get through to you if you don’t even care
About the things I say
Baby you look the other, you look the other way
Baby you look the other, you look the other way
You look the other, you look the other way
