Lyrics
I want to help you
I have a desire to assist you
But I don't know how
Uncertainty about how to provide assistance
I want to soothe you
Desire to comfort you emotionally
But I can't speak out
Inability to express comforting words
I have many fears about rejection
Fearful of facing rejection
I have many memories of pain
Recollection of past painful memories
I have always been a little shy
Admits to being naturally reserved or introverted
So I'll turn and look the other way
Choosing to avoid confrontation by looking away
Other way
Reiteration of avoiding confrontation and looking away
Other way
-I will turn and look the other way
-I want to hold you
Expresses a wish to embrace or hold the person
But I am afraid
Fearful of potential consequences
I want to touch you
Desire for physical contact, but with hesitations
But I'm not that way
Clarifies a limitation in the type of contact
I have many doubts about my motives
Uncertainty and doubts about personal motivations
I have many fears about my greed
Fears related to personal greed or selfishness
I have always hurt the one that I love
Acknowledges a history of hurting loved ones
So I'll turn and look the other way
Choosing avoidance to prevent hurting the person
Other way
Reiteration of turning away as a coping mechanism
Other way
-I will turn and look the other way
-I have many doubts about my motives
Repeated doubts, fears, and history of causing harm
I have many fears about my greed
-I have always hurt the one that I love
-So I'll turn and look the other way
-Other way
Continued pattern of looking the other way
Other way
-I will turn and look the other way
-Other way
Further commitment to avoiding confrontation
Other way
-I will turn and look the other way
-Other way
Reiteration of the decision to look away
Other way
-I will turn and look the other way
-(Other way) the other way
Continued emphasis on turning away, expressed musically
(Other way) the other way
-(Other way) the other way
-(Other way) the other way
