“As You Turn Away” is about a relationship between two people; one is trying to save the relationship by doing all she can, and the other has already given up and doesn’t want it anymore. She has put everything into saving their relationship, to the point where she has nothing left to give anymore,...
[Verse 1]
Standing face to face
Wrapped in your embrace
I don't wanna let you go
But you're already gone
Now you kiss my cheek
Soft and bittersweet
I can read it in your eyes
Baby, this is our goodbye
[Chorus]
Nothing more to say
Nothing left to break
I keep reaching out for you
Hoping you might stay
Nothing more to give
Nothing left to take
I keep reaching out for you
Reaching out for you
As you turn away
[Verse 2]
Let go of my hand
So I can feel again
Nothing's gonna hurt as much
As that final touch
No, we can't be friends
'Cause I don't think I could take seeing you
And knowing where we've been
I hope you understand
[Chorus]
Nothing more to say
Nothing left to break
I keep reaching out for you
Hoping you might stay
Nothing more to give
Nothing left to take
I keep reaching out for you
Reaching out for you
As you turn away
[Bridge]
One step, my heart is breaking
One more, my hands are shaking
The door is closing
And I just can't change it
[Chorus]
Nothing more to say
Nothing left to break
Nothing more to give
Nothing left to take
I keep reaching out for you
Reaching out for you
I keep reaching out for you
Reaching out for you
As you turn away
As you turn away
As you turn away
