TURN AWAY

I seem to remember long ago
A voice that called my name,
But then that voice went stern and cold
And a frightening darkness reigned.

On broken wings, I could not fly
I shied away from the light.
I remember when I'd sit and cry
On those endless lonely nights.

But wild hearts can't be broken
And high spirits must be free.
A sweeter voice has spoken
And he says he cares for me.

So turn away, turn away.
I don't want to see you anymore.
If there's a drop of decent blood in you,
You'll just walk out that door.

Turn away, just let me be.
Turn away, you don't own me.
Now that I know a love that's true,
Turn away, I'm done crying over you.

His laughter is all I live for.
Wonder why I ever cried?
What made me ever love you?
Or believe you when you lied?

If you truly want what's best for me,
Then just turn and walk away.
Don't wonder what the reason is
That you're all alone today.

I didn't want to hurt you
I get no joy from pain.
But don't waste your time and linger.
I'll never love you again.
