It Won't Last - Ken Hensley

You can run away

You can choose to stay

Deny the fact

Put on a lousy act

You can hide your face

In some new favourite place

Maybe you’ll stay a while

Maybe you’ll even smile

But it won’t last

No need to take the blame

No need to change your name

It wasn’t your mistake

You were trapped

And you had to escape

Go on and ride the crest

Thinking it’s you that’s blessed

Wear a new coat of paint

Act like the sweetest saint

But it won’t last

But you can’t hide it from your eyes

Deep in your heart you hate the lis

Somehow the fear will always b too near

And just like your last mistake

The road you take will lead you here

To me it’s clear, it’s never gonna last

Now that you’ve heard the voice

Could be your final choice

You’re looking one last chance

Straight in the face

Stand up and fight the fight

Against all that’s wrong inside

Just turn and walk away

Into a brighter day

Then it might last

You did it time and time again

It always ended up the same

How did you hide from all the pain

You know you left behind

One day you’ll turn around

Totally alone with no way out

I have no doubt 'cause

You can’t hide it from your eyes
