I know you've had it hard 
I know, I know 
By now we all have scars 
That we could show 

Have you been waiting so long 
That you made up your mind 
To look the other way 
Afraid of what you'll find? 

But nobody knows for certain 
What nobody knows can't hurt them 
So try to hold that smile 
Believable denial 
Look the other way 

Everybody has something to lose 
Your choices take a toll 
You can't choose 

Your true colors showing 
You have crossed a line 
Your silver tongue is tin 
I can't listen to you spin 
To help you ease your mind 

But nobody knows for certain 
What nobody knows can't hurt them 
So try to hold that smile 
Be over in awhile 
Look the other way 

We have so much in common 
So much that should unite us 
But everytime we look up 
There's somebody new to divide us 

Separate and conquer 
All for the touch of Midas 
And it's a lonely rancor 
Pour on a few to incite us 

Still the sun is gonna shine 
Join the growing line 
Look the other way 

It's really nothing new 
Just be glad it wasn't you 
Look the other way
