Don't Turn Away

Called in sick with your laugh pushed back

The sun burned down now you've gone off track

Now you can't find your way back home

If you're used to changing jeans on last

Can you put up with the covered on cracks

Everything just feels like you've lost

Now you want it to feel something more

I know you want to run

When everything's pulling down

I know fear got you stuck and it shakes you

Don't you hide from the pain

It's part of what makes you stronger

Don't you dare turn away, just be stayed

All your past used to count on you

Friends grew up and it's killing you

Now you're too far to get back home

Don't look back 'cause the place you knew

Never was black you forget too soon

Everything that you want is so close

Now you want it to feel something more

I know you want to run

When everything's pulling down

I know fear got you stuck and it shakes you

Don't you hide from the pain

It's part of what makes you stronger

Don't you dare turn away, just be stayed

Now you want it to feel something more

You can't see it when you're close to shore

I know you want to run

When everything's pulling down

I know fear got you stuck and it shakes you

Don't you hide from the pain

It's part of what makes you stronger

Don't you dare turn away, just be stayed

Just be stayed, just be stayed
