Look Away
English
There's something you should know
That I can't sing a love song anymore
There's something going on
And I can't turn my back on it anymore
How can we go to sleep at night
And lay there in our beds
When we know what's going on
With the world today
Is it in my head?
Am I the only one?
Is it in my head?
Where the war has just begun?
We look away
Look away
Look away
Look away, hey
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away, no-o-o
Is it in my head?
Is it in my head?
Look away
Look away, hey, no-o-o
There's something in the air at night
That feels so different
And I don't understand
I didn't see this one coming
How can we go to sleep at night
And lay there in our beds
When we know what's going on
With the world today
Is it in my head?
Am I the only one?
Is it in my head?
Where the war has just begun?
We look away
Look away
Look away
Look away, hey
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away
Is it in my head?
Am I the only one?
Is it in my head?
Where the war has just begun?
We look away
Look away
Look away
Look away, hey
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away, hey, no-o-o
