le mot juste
© 2008 michele may

 

take your hands down from my face
no need to force my gaze
upon the truth
i already know

these stars, they won't uncross
they spell a love that's lost
but not today
can i let you go

so let me look away
for just a little longer now
let me look away
until i am stronger somehow

don't show me you without me
it's too painful to see
this sober truth
i have always known

so let me look away
for just a little longer now
let me look away
until i am stronger somehow

strong enough to turn
strong enough to run
strong enough to let this love be done
strong enough to learn
strong enough to be
strong enough to get up from my knees

please, please, please

let me look away
for just a little longer now
let me look away
until i am stronger somehow

take your hands down from my face
until i can walk away
please let me look away
