Lyrics: Kate Voegele. Don't Look Away. Only Fooling Myself.


I stop to catch my breath - And I stop to catch your eye
No need to second-guess - That you?ve been on my mind
I dream days away, but that?s okay -
It?s like I want to hear a silent sound - And then hold it in my hand
But a rose won?t blossom from a ground - Of desert sand, but I like to pretend that

One day I?ll turn around - I?ll see your hand reach out
I?m only fooling myself, oh, - But maybe when you smile
It means you?d stay awhile - Just maybe you?d save me now

Well, now it?s etched in stone - That I can?t survive alone - You have the missing piece
That I need so desperately - Yes, I slip away to a day that?ll never come
It?s like a splash of water to my face - When I suddenly realize - That you could never find a place
For me in your eyes, and I don?t know why I keep thinking

One day I?ll turn around - I?ll see your hand reach out
I?m only fooling myself, oh, - But maybe when you smile
It means you?d stay awhile - Just maybe you?d save me now

It?s love in disguise - I?m lost in your eyes - I?m lost in your eyes

One day I?ll turn around - I?ll see your hand reach out
I?m only fooling myself, oh, - But maybe when you smile
It means you?d stay awhile - Just maybe you?d save me now - Save me now
Just maybe you?d save me now
