I know you've had it hard
I know, I know
By now we all have scars
That we could show

Have you been waiting so long
That you made up your mind
To look the other way
Afraid of what you'll find?

But nobody knows for certain
What nobody knows can't hurt them
So try to hold that smile
Believable denial
Look the other way

Everybody has something to lose
Your choices take a toll
You can't choose

Your true colors showing
You have crossed a line
Your silver tongue is tin
I can't listen to you spin
To help you ease your mind

But nobody knows for certain
What nobody knows can't hurt them
So try to hold that smile
Be over in awhile
Look the other way

We have so much in common
So much that should unite us
But everytime we look up
There's somebody new to divide us

Separate and conquer
All for the touch of Midas
And it's a lonely rancor
Pour on a few to incite us

Still the sun is gonna shine
Join the growing line
Look the other way

It's really nothing new
Just be glad it wasn't you
Look the other way
