Keep Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sickness spilling through your eyes
Cravin' everything that you thought was alive
Stab me in my heart again (Ah, yeah)
Drag me through your wasted life, are you forever dead?
[Chorus]
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
[Verse 2]
Twistin' everything around that you say (Yeah)
Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day
Oh, rag me, I don't hear you anymore (Ah, yeah)
Find out what it means to me, I don't know who you are
[Chorus]
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sickness spilling through your eyes
Cravin' everything that you thought was alive
Stab me in my heart again (Ah, yeah)
Drag me through your wasted life, are you forever dead?
[Chorus]
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
[Verse 2]
Twistin' everything around that you say (Yeah)
Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day
Oh, rag me, I don't hear you anymore (Ah, yeah)
Find out what it means to me, I don't know who you are
[Chorus]
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Draggin' on so lonely, aren't you tired baby? (Yeah)
Breathin' life into your lungs, are you immune to me?
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
(Ah, yeah)
Keep away from me
(Oh, yeah)
[Outro]
Never misunderstand me
Never misunderstand me
Never misunderstand me
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Draggin' on so lonely, aren't you tired baby? (Yeah)
Breathin' life into your lungs, are you immune to me?
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
(Ah, yeah)
Keep away from me
(Oh, yeah)
[Outro]
Never misunderstand me
Never misunderstand me
Never misunderstand me
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
