look the other way

so quick, i slipped and here we are
oblivious with two scars
bleeding into your mind
one memory at a time

i'll stay, there is no other way
i am the worst you could attain
obstacles at every turn
sometimes i think i'll never learn

but my speakers play what you choose
i've got nothing left to lose
and when i don't see the same look in your face
i'll turn and look the other way

one week, how has it gone so far
i've lost myself, i'm not half scared
i thought it would take more time
to shelve my echoes in a past life

it's flipped, not what i'm used to
you've had your fair share of that too
and it couldn't be more wrong
but i think it's just been too long

but my speakers play what you choose
i've got nothing left to lose
and when i don't see the same look in your face
i'll turn and look the other way

you're never over it, and i'm not your type today or tomorrow
maybe it's hollow
you won't get over it, and i know the truth is hard to swallow
but it doesn't feel hollow

but my speakers play what you choose
i've got nothing left to lose
and when i don't see the same look in your face
i'll turn and look the other way
i'll look the other way
