Look The Other Way Lyrics

I had a life I had my health I had a family

Thought I was nothing if not blessed

But when I broke my back, all of that changed

Doctor said take these pills and rest

I haven't felt like this since I don't think ever and I

Knew I was walking on the edge

Said I knew exactly just how much I was taking I was

Just doing what the doctor said

Oh what a terrible curse

The pain that you feel it ain't even the worst

Bury your head and pretend it's okay

Sometimes it's easier to look the other way

Pretty soon I had a couple different doctors

I was taking anything that I could find

I was hiding my hurt and I was lying all the time

Shaking all over, faking that I'm fine

I told my family I'd handle it myself

But they knew better than to stay, I was a wreck

At first I thought this medication was a lifeline

Now it's the noose around my neck

Oh what a terrible curse

The pain that you feel it ain't even the worst

Bury your head and pretend it's okay

Sometimes it's easier to look the other way

Now I don't blame folks when I'm underneath the underpass

and I'm just another thing that they ignore

My back was broken, now my spirit is too

I don't even know who I am anymore

Oh what a terrible curse

The pain that you feel it ain't even the worst

Bury your head and pretend it's okay

Sometimes it's easier to look the other way
