Look Away

[Verse 1]
Two eyes staring back at me
From a magazine in my room
Cut out paper tragedies

If it only feels black and blue?
Creating a fantasy
Something I can dream

From scratching a memory 'til all the colors off
Revealing a jagged line still there in black and white
When I close my eyes

It's all too soon
The things we used to joke about have all come true
I had to slowly back away

[Hook]
