<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 24.0px Chalkduster;">Turn Away</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 24.0px Chalkduster; min-height: 37.0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">I shouldn't have been there when she came around</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">No, I shouldn't have been there when she came around</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">She brought her lies, and they brought me down.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">Something in her eyes, I couldn't turn around</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">and now my heart that burns is a lesson learned, </p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">as I try to face the day. that I say goodbye,</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">don't want to say goodbye, but I've got to find a way</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">I've got to turn away, turn away</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">I've got to turn away, turn away</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">I've got to turn away, I've got to turn away, turn away</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">I shouldn't have listened when she cried my name</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">Her angelic whisper, burned me like a flame.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">She sang a song, she said she wrote for me, </p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">but the words were wrong, it was so hard to see</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 18.0px Chalkduster;">and now my heart that burns is a lesson learned, </p>
