Desperation's causin' me To question every single word you say The distance that keeps growin' In between us, girl, just leaves me so afraid Well, you tried so hard to carry on But I can tell there's somethin' wrong these days Well girl, I've gotta know the truth Just give it to me straight, don't look away Chorus: Don't look away Don't look away When I ask you if you love me still And if you're gonna stay Don't look away Well, I've known you long enough to know Your tryin not to let your feelins' show Lately when i hold you near i still feel I'm sittin here alone Well, I still feel I'm sittin' here alone This confusion settin' in your mind Blockin' all the words you mean to say Well girl, I've gotta know the truth Just give it to me straight, don't look away "Repeat Chorus" Don't look away Don't look away Well girl, I've gotta know the truth Just give it to me straight, don't look away When I ask you if you love me still And if you're gonna stay Don't look away
