Turn Away

by Jada Andrews - Capricorn

And when she's down upon her knees 
and she begs you and she pleads 
for you to take her in your heart 
to give her one more fresh start, 
for you to take her by the hand 
Do you ever understand? 
Or do you look her in the eye 
while your heart tells her good-bye 
and turn away for your own sake 
can't bear to see her heart break. 
And when she falls onto the ground 
when there's no one else around 
and the tears like bitter rain 
flow from her heart again 
could you take her in your arms 
and protect her from all harm... 

or would you look her in the eye
while your heart tells her good-bye 
and turn away for your own sake, 
can't bear to see her heart break.

Reason for writing:

    Just came into my mind one day...sort of a dreamlike image.
