Don't Turn Away Lyrics - Singles - Thomas Dolby

I don't know why you're not talking to me 

I don't know what went wrong 

two people who had so much together 

really ought to get along - yeah 

But something started to change inside of you 

and right out of the blue 

two friends with such a lot to give 

I don't know where you are 

or what you're going through 

What are we trying to prove? 

Cause when this world's too big to take on your 

shoulders 

Feels like love is in vain 

You could break down in my arms babe 

But it really hurts when you turn away 

And I can take the look you give me, believe me, cause 

I know you are in pain 

I can take the names you call me 

But I can't stand when you turn away 

Don't turn away 

cause I can feel you all around me 

But you keep me here in the dark 

And each time we try to settle down 

Something seems to keep us apart, don't it baby? 

You and me, we're on the outside 

Pretending we don't care 

Too proud to show our feelings, 

To open up the love you know we could share when 

I will always be there 

Cause when this world's too big to take on your 

shoulders 

Feels like love is in vain 

You could break down in my arms babe 

But it really hurts when you turn away 

And I can take the look you give me, believe me 

I know you are in pain 

And I can take the names you call me 

But I can't stand when you turn away
