I wrote this song for an up and coming bluesy singer/songwriter, but he politely declined. More kudos for me I guess?

lyrics

----------------------------------------------
Don't Look the Other Way
Michael S. Lee (2012)
-----------------------------------------------

The messages you were text'n me
Were a warning from the start
I denied my destiny
I kept listen'ng to my heart

The little clues there for me
were a real-life mystery. Yeah.

I may've seen it coming
Didn't think it'd come so soon
The happiness left your eyes
In the limelight of the moon

The little clues there for me
I was too blind to see. Yeah.

I think about you,
Dream about you,
Ev'ry night and day.
When you pass me by,
Don't look the other way.

I knew that there'd be days like this
When darkness fills the mind
I just didn't think it'd come so fast
It crept up from behind

The little clues there for me
I was too blind to see. Yeah

Now I'm feeling lonely
The joy has left my soul
The memories of loving you
I'll have till I grow old

The little clues there for me
I am too blind to see. Yeah.

I think about you,
Dream about you,
Ev'ry night and day.
When you pass me by,
Don't look the other way.

Your final message to me
I found it hard to believe
It said "We should be friends" sorry
It was a misunderstandin'

Now I feel withdrawn
My head is hanging low
My heart is in my pocket
Why did you have to go?

I think about you,
Dream about you,
Ev'ry night and day.
When you pass me by,
Don't look the other way.
