Don't Look Away

Kate Voegele Don't Look Away Lyrics
1.Chicago

I've never known you
But I'm no stranger to this feeling
I I know it's over but the hurts not
What do you call it?
What do you call it when broken hearts are not done healing
You threw down your cigarette but it's still hot
Well I've learned to lie
And here's what I've got
Well didn't I think you would always love me
And didn't I want you to take care of me baby
Well that ain't happenin'
No no no
Wouldn't I love just to rise above this
You gotta believe
I have suffered enough to be free
So I'm officially leavin'
With just a kiss on the cheek and I'm gone.
I'll be up at 7 o'clock
whoa oh oh whoa oh oh
7 o'clock to Chicago
Whoa oh whoa oh

It's never easy
Breakin' this old addiction
I I've got the reasons
But no rational
And I wanna hate you cause you don't give me no conviction
Your betrayal oughta make this break down no trouble at all
So let the rubble fall
Cause I'm running off
Well didn't I think you would always love me
And didn't I want you to take care of me baby
Well that ain't happenin'
No no no
Wouldn't I love just to rise above this
You gotta believe
I have suffered enough to be free
So I'm officially leavin'
With just a kiss on the cheek and I'm gone.
I'll be up at 7 o'clock
whoa oh oh whoa oh oh
7 o'clock to Chicago
Whoa oh whoa oh

I'll be on the 7 o'clock to Chicago
I ain't got no second thoughts
Because I know I'm on my way to the top
On my way
Well didn't I think you would always love me
And didn't I want you to take care of me baby
Well that ain't happening
No No Now
Wouldn't I love just to rise above this
You've gotta believe I've suffered enough to be free
So I'm officially leaving
Just a kiss on the cheek and I'm gone
I'll be on the seven o'clock
Oh Oh the seven o'clock to Chicago
Oh Oh


2.I Get It

I couldn't make this up
I have been outdone by my own kind
I always traded up, yeah
Now I'm a victim for the first time

But I'm unaffected and indifferent
But I can't pretend that I'm not over the edge

Well, well, baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
And my, my, my, it only serves me right
Now I get it, I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is

I was untouchable
Until karma crashed my party
I found out I'm crushable, oh
And I'm the only one who's sorry, yeah

I don't get rejected, I was somehow regressed
It's unprecedented, oh, no second page, yeah

Well, well, baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my, it only serves me right
Now I get it, I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is, yeah
This is how hurt feels and it's everything

Well, no, no, no, don't you go
I do all the breakin' up around here, yeah
Now, no, no, no, don't steal my show
You should be the one cryin' these tears
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, well, baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
My, my, my, it only serves me right
Now I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything

Well, well, baby, what do you know
You turned the tables on me, didn't you?
Well, my, my, my, it only serves me right
Now I get it, I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is

I get it, I get it, this is how hurt feels
And it's everything they say it is
And it's everything they say it is
And it's everything they say it is
Yeah, now, oh yeah
And it's everything


3.Only Fooling Myself

I stop to catch my breath
And I stop to catch your eye
No need to second-guess
That you've been on my mind
Well, I dream days away but that's okay
It's like I want to hear a silent sound
And then hold it in my hand
But a rose won't blossom from a ground
Of desert sand, but I like to pretend that
One day I'll turn around
I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile
Just maybe you'd save me now
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm only fooling myself

And now it's etched in stone
That I can't survive alone
You have the missing piece
That I, I need so desperately
Yes, I slip away to a day that'll never come
It's like a splash of water to my face
When I suddenly realize that
That you could never find a place
For me in your eyes
And I don't know why I keep thinking
One day I'll turn around
I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile
Maybe you'd save me now
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm only fooling myself

Love in disguise
I'm lost in your eyes
Lost in your eyes
One day I'll turn around
I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile
Just maybe you'd save me
One day I'll turn around
I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile
Just maybe you'd save me now
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm only fooling myself
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, save me now


4.Top of the World

Out of the corner
Of my tired eyes, I'm not surprised
It's now a quarter past too late
Nothing new, it's no case out of the ordinary
I'm so very wrapped
Around your finger this time
Oh, won't you give me a while
To unwind?
You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world, if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules
Don't that make you the fool?
Oh yeah, you're on top of the world
You're sitting on top of the world
On top of the world

You're like a splinter
You're just killing me slowly from inside
The piercing winter is so much
More inviting than the stare in your eyes
One heavy cinder block, like a love rock
You're just staying, weighing, breaking me down
I'm crying out, you don't hear me
You don't hear a sound
You're on top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
You're on top of the world, if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules
Don't that make you the fool?
You're on top of the world

Hope I've lost enough to win you back your prize
To put you up sky high
You get your pride back to its familiar place
You're on top of the world
But I hope it's cost enough of my dear, precious time
To lift your spirits, spark your smile

On top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
Well, love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
On top of the world, if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules
Don't that make you the fool?
On top of the world
And I'm just waiting, making up your excuse
You say that love's tough, are you sure?
Ain't it just a piece of cake to make me look like a fool?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
On top of the world, if you're thinking
I've been blinking while you're breaking the rules
Don't that make you the fool?
Oh baby, don't that make you the fool?
You're on top of the world
On top of the world
You're sitting on top of the world
On top of the world
You're on top of the world
On top of the world
You're on top of the world


5.One Way or Another

I can tell by the way you've been yelling her name
That it's more than a friendly game
With a smile and that I'm-gonna-fight-to-the-death
Expression in her eye
You think I'm so dramatic
Just imagining again
You come to her defense
Insisting that she's innocent
Well, excuse me for wanting to be
The one and only lock that fits your key
Oh, you believe there's nothing up her sleeve
But baby, well, just wait and see
You say that love is blind, well, I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind, she'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference yet?
I'll be gone one way or another

Take a minute to see it from my side of things
Don't you think you would feel the same?
Like you still gotta play for the victory in a game
You won yesterday
I shouldn't have to fight
For something that's already mine
But her pursuit of you
Has undermined my peace of mind
But it's no use crying to you
You're who her plan has done the damage to
What's done is done, I should just hold my tongue
But someone has got me outdone
You say that love is blind, well, I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind, she'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference yet?
I'll be gone one way or another

You're going under, yeah
And baby, it's no wonder, no, no
'Cause she's stepping up her game
She's making you a prisoner of her hall of fame
She's looking for a winner for her trophy case
And you need to consider what you think you deserve
Is that all that you're worth?
No, no, no, no, no

You say that love is blind, well, I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind, she'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference yet?
I'll be gone one way or another
You say that love is blind, well, I say open up your eyes
She's a mastermind, she'd cheat and lie to get you to love her
Who's the victim if it doesn't make a difference yet?
I'll be gone one way or another
I'll be gone one way or another
I'll be gone one way or another


6.It's Only Life

Tears are formin' in your eyes
A storm is warnin' in the sky
The end of the world, it seems
You bend down and fall on your knees
Well, get back on your feet, yeah
Don't look away, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Don't lose your faith, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
You were always playin' hard
You never could let down your guard, no
Oh, but you can't win if you never give in
In to that voice within, it's sayin' pick up your chin
Baby let go of it, yeah
Don't look away, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Don't lose your faith, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Don't look away, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Don't lose your faith, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Take your hesitance and your self-defense
Leave them behind, it's only life
Don't be so afraid of facin' every day
Just take your time, it's only life
I'll be your steppin' stone, don't be so alone
Just hold on tight, it's only life
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Don't look away, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Don't lose your faith, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Don't look away, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Don't lose your faith, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
It's only life, oh yeah
It's only life
Don't look away


7.Might Have Been

I break away from every situation
Like this one most times baby
But since you been 'round here I've given in my dear
To your captivation daily
Well, I'm not the type who gets voted most likely
To be victimized by those old butterflies
But you're the exception, your love is infectious
The fever is climbin' high
I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older
'Cause I won't spend another day wonderin' what might have been
No, no, no

I was so cynical, just inconvincible
Nobody seemed worth trusting
But sure enough just when I'd near given up
You appeared there among the destruction, yeah
Well, now its official, I've lost my initial suspicions
And skepticism, yeah
Well, you got me caved in and playin' the field
And I see now what I'd been missin', yeah
I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older
'Cause I won't spend another day wonderin' what might have been

Oh yeah, you got my permission, break the tradition, yeah
No limited editions, this is a persistent change of disposition
No more inhibitions 'cause I don't want to spend my life wishin'
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, don't you know?
I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older
'Cause I won't spend another day wonderin'
Well, I hope you don't mind if I fall asleep on your shoulder
Now turn out the lights and let the night begin
I hope it's alright if you're still mine when we're older
'Cause I won't spend another day wonderin'
I won't spend another day wonderin'
I won't spend another day wonderin' what might have been
No, no, no, no, no, might have been, babe
What might have been


8.Facing Up

I use no exaggeration
Clearly hanging by a thread
And I'm running low on patience
But don't go blame it on yourself
I wish I was in my right mind
But I've left myself unnecessary chore
I make it bad when it's just fine
I was whole and sure but now I'm clearly torn
And there's nothing left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fear
Where the truth is oh so clear
Embracing inescapable truth
And that's facing up to you
And truth is so cruel

Continual irresolution
Keeps me shackled to the ground
I've been in dire need of revolution
For far too many days to count
I thought I was safe in my hiding place
But it sure is exhausting living in chains
It's paradoxical in every way
Nothing makes sense, I can't tell love from hate
And there's nothing left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fear
Where the truth is oh so clear
Embracing inescapable truth
And that's facing up to you
Truth is so cruel
I'm begging myself to make something out of it
I give up still unable to comprehend
My own true will Incomprehensible
Nothing left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fear
Where the truth is oh so clear
Embracing inescapable truth
And that's facing up to you
Facing up to you, facing up to you


9.No Good

I never feared the unexpected
Until I found myself in this peculiar place
Unaware where I was headed
Oh, it turns out it was your footsteps I had chased
Well, I should know so much better than this
But you've occupied the center of my universe
So I'm moving in reverse, under your mighty curse
I hate myself for loving you
I turn my head away but my heart will remain
Till the day I learn you're no good for me, no

It's illogical and it's outrageous
The way I let you keep me hangin' on
Your character is that contagious
Oh, I know I should have thought before I had done
I've gone and let my impulse be my guide
And on that note, I'll be defenseless for some time
I'm moving in reverse, under your mighty curse
I hate myself for loving you
I turn my head away but my heart will remain
Till the day I learn you're no good for me

Hey you there, keep your distance
Don't you come around here
Don't test my patience, baby
'Cause I ain't gonna let you off easy
No, no, no, no, no
Oh, you're no, no, no, no good
No good, no good, no

I'm moving in reverse, under your mighty curse
I hate myself for loving you
I turn my head away but my heart will remain
Till the day I learn you're no good for me
I'm moving in reverse, under your mighty curse
I hate myself for loving you
I turn my head away but my heart will remain
Till the day I learn you're no good
Till the day I learn you're no good
Till the day I learn you're no good for me
Oh no, oh, you're no good, you're no good
You're no good, you're no good for me
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good for me, no, no good
Oh, you're no good, no
Oh, you're no good, no, oh, you're no good


10.Devil In Me

Far in the distance
This is the view from the other side
How did I let this pass me by?
You took me for granted,
Planted thorns in this garden of mine.
What are the chances? My hope has died.
Well please have mercy
You unnerved me
I don't deserve this pain, no.
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil in me.

Thinking it over,
Those were days dark as ebony nights
The end of October seemed like a life time.
I had a suspicion
But didn't want to believe you a liar.
You had a mission
To prove me right.
You took my trust
Ground it to dust
Found out I know better, yeah.
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil -

And I don't want to feel the pain
And I don't want another day
Shackled to your ball and chain.
You're entirely to blame
And I'm so tired of explaining
The sensation of no Novicaine, yeah.

I don't have a prayer if there is
No charity in your heart
Couldn't you spare me, I've done my part?
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil -
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil in me.


11.I Won't Disagree

Ignorance is bliss
You'd always hear me say
But at times you can't deny
Those eyes lookin' your way

Let me begin by saying what I mean
It's a crime against the heart you know
To be somewhere in between

Well don't be shy
I've got an open heart and hand
And I just might have to confess just where I stand

'Cause lately you make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me'
And I Won't Disagree

Rock a bye my baby
Don't be blue tonight
Oh I'm on my way
And I'm gonna make it right

'Cause I've got the feeling
You'll be needing love
And of all the lonely hearts
You're the one I'm thinkin' of

I've been told it's gonna take an iron hand
To break the mold and stand above all of the rest

Well lately you make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me'
And I Won't Disagree

I'll be thinking of that evening
When there's nothing for me to do
And I'll be wondering if by some slim chance
You're wondering too

Lately you make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me'

Oh lately you make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me'
And I Won't Disagree


12.Wish You Were

Gone away are the golden days
Now just a page in my diary
So here I am a Utopian citizen
I'm still convinced there's no such thing as idealism

Oh, memories they're following me like a shadow now
And I'm dreamin'
'Cause I've already suffered the fever of disbelief, yeah

But I've seen your act, I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
And it ain't hard to see who you are underneath
But I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here, yeah

I was true as the sky is blue
But I couldn't soon say the same for you, no, no
So now I find denial in my eyes
Mesmerized by the, the picture that's in my mind now

Tell me when I'll finally see your shallow heart
For what it is, yeah
'Cause I don't wanna keep on believin' in illusions, no, no, no

'Cause I've seen your act and I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
And it ain't hard to see who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here

Sometimes I can't explain, and I'm so sorry that I can't
I'll try to concentrate on your true identity

'Cause I've seen your act and I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
And it ain't hard to see who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

I've seen your act and I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were, yeah
And it ain't hard to see who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
Now I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here

I wish you were here, yeah
I wish you were here


13.Kindly Unspoken

As high as the moon, so high were my spirits
When you sang out my name
And comin' from you it was enough just to hear it
Oh, it rang like the bells did today
But even the sturdiest ground
Can shift and can tremble and let us fall down
Kindly unspoken, you showed your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words, oh
It's lucky I'm clever, if I didn't know better
I'd believe only that which I'd heard

In the days of my folly I follow your lead
I do what Simon said to do, yeah
But I won't, won't let melancholy play me for a fool
Oh no, I'm on my way somewhere new, yeah
And as far as your lack of somethin' to say
Well, just to tell me goodbye there was no better way
Kindly unspoken, you showed your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words, oh
It's lucky I'm clever, if I didn't know better
I'd believe only that which I'd heard, yeah

Oh baby, don't keep me up till the dawn, no
With those old words that keep leading me on
Baby, well, now I know much better
Than to wait for an answer from you, oh
Kindly unspoken, you showed your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Lucky I'm clever, if I didn't know better
I'd believe only that which I'd heard


14.You Can't Break A Broken Heart

Won't be so easy,
This time to hurt me,
You can try,
And this time Oh Baby,
There are no tears left here to dry,
If you think you can wound me like before
If you think you can do that anymore,
Won't get to far,
NO!
You Can't Break A Broken Heart,
So try your best now baby,
Try your best to break me,
You can't break a broken heart,
No damage you can do now,
I'm immune to you now,
You can't break what broke apart,
There's nothing you can do to me no more,
You can't break a broken heart.

Hurt me before now,
Won't hurt no more now,
Not this time,
You might do better,
Messing with someone else's mind,
Cause You're not gonna bring me down again,
You're done with throwing me the way you did,
It's gone to far eh,
You Can't Break A Broken Heart,
So try your best now baby,
Try your best to break me,
You can't break a broken heart,
No damage you can do now,
I'm a immune to you now,
You can't break what broke apart,
There's nothing you can do to me no more,
You can't break a broken heart.

Still don't means to your time,
Your time has come and gone,
What are you here for,
You can't hurt me anymore,
So try your best now baby,
Try your best to break me,
You can't break the broken heart,
No damage you can do now,
I'm immune to you now,
You can't break what broke apart,
There's nothing you can do to me no more,
You can't break a broken heart.

So try your best now baby,
Try your best to break me,
You can't break a broken heart,
No damage you can do now,
I'm immune to you now,
You can't break what broke apart,
There's nothing you can do to me no more,
You can't break a broken heart.
Break a broken heart.


15.It's Only Life (Live Acoustic)

Tears are formin' in your eyes
A storm is warnin' in the sky
The end of the world, it seems
You bend down and fall on your knees
Well, get back on your feet, yeah
Don't look away, don't run away
Baby, it's only life
Don't lose your faith, don't run away
Baby, it's only life

Baby let go of it, yeah
Don't look away, don't run away

16.Facing Up (Live Acoustic)

I use no exaggeration
Clearly hanging by a thread
And I'm running low on patience
But don't go blame it on yourself
I wish I was in my right mind
But I've left myself unnecessary chore
I make it bad when it's just fine
I was whole and sure but now I'm clearly torn
And there's nothing left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fear
And that's facing up to you
And truth is so cruel

Continual irresolution
Keeps me shackled to the ground
I've been in dire need of revolution
For far too many days to count
I thought I was safe in my hiding place
But it sure is exhausting living in chains
It's paradoxical in every way
Nothing makes sense, I can't tell love from hate
And there's nothing left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fear
And that's facing up to you
Truth is so cruel

And there's nothing left for me to do
Right and left both bring me to
The center of my deepest fear
And that's facing up to you
Truth is so cruel


17.Devil In Me (Live Acoustic)

Far in the distance
This is the view from the other side
How did I let this pass me by?
You took me for granted,
Planted thorns in this garden of mine.
What are the chances? My hope has died.
Well please have mercy
You unnerved me
I don't deserve this pain, no.
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil in me.

Thinking it over,
Those were days dark as ebony nights
The end of October seemed like a life time.
I had a suspicion
But didn't want to believe you a liar.
You had a mission
To prove me right.
You took my trust
Ground it to dust
Found out I know better, yeah.
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil -

And I don't want to feel the pain
And I don't want another day
Shackled to your ball and chain.
You're entirely to blame
And I'm so tired of explaining
The sensation of no Novicaine, yeah.

I don't have a prayer if there is
No charity in your heart
Couldn't you spare me, I've done my part?
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil -
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the Devil in me.
