Turn You Away

Remember how we used to be
So happy, just naturally
Now you don't know me
Like I know you
This isn't what we had planned
Sticking our heads into the sand
You can't just sit there
Pretending to be unaware

But you've gotta get stronger
Before it's okay
You've gotta get deeper
Before I let you stay
You've gotta get wiser
To make a new day
So, I won't turn you away

You're frozen in our history
When you can make it new for me
You made it colder
My autumn soldier
No one else can take the blame
Now we don't have to stay the same
The time we spent together no one can take away

But you've gotta work harder
Before it's okay
You've gotta get higher
To make a new day
You've gotta be a fighter
Before I let you stay
So, I won't turn you away

Where can we go?
If we don't grow
We won't get stronger
And though the river knows
See it flow
I can't wait any longer

But you've gotta get higher
To make a new day
You've gotta get closer
Before love fades
We've gotta get stronger
Before it's okay
So, I won't turn you away

Before the love fades
We've gotta get stronger
So, I won't turn you away
