look away,

look away from the past

think ahead,

think ahead so you'll last another day

and the days are so long

and you'll get by

but gettin' by is just another way to say half dead

and you think you'd rather live your life instead

of just gettin' by

don't you know,

don't you know its bound to keep you up all night

wonderin' where and how it all went wrong that night

it all went wrong

so keep in mind

keep in mind you're not to blame

bitter tears

bitter tears can fall like rain

on your fields

and those fields need that rain

so look away

and think ahead

and live your life

and cry those tears

cry bitter tears
