Don't Turn Around
Ace of Base Lyrics

If you want to leave
If you are thinking of leaving me

I won't beg you to stay
I won't plead for you to stay back with me

And if you gotta go darling
And if you really have to go, my love

Maybe it's better that way
Maybe it's for the best

I'm gonna be strong
I'm going to be resilient

I'm gonna do fine
I will be okay

Don't worry about this heart of mine
Don't worry about the condition of my heart

Just walk out that door
Just leave, exit through that door

See if I care
I will not care

Go on and go now but
You may leave now, however,

Don't turn around
Don't look back

'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Seeing me heartbroken would be unbearable for me

I don't want you seeing me cry
I don't want you to witness my tears

Just walk away
Just leave quietly

It's tearing me apart
It's destroying me inside

That you're leaving
Because you're leaving me

I'm letting you go
I'm allowing you to leave me

But I won't let you know
I won't reveal my true feelings to you

I won't miss your arms around me
I won't yearn for your embrace

Holding me tight
Clasping me firmly

And if you ever think about me
And in case you ever recollect our memories

Just know that I'll be alright
Know that I'll be fine

I will survive
I will live through this

I'll make it through
I'll survive this phase

I'll even learn to live without you
I'll learn to exist without you in my life

I wish I could scream out loud
I desire to scream at the top of my voice

That I love you
That I'm truly in love with you

I wish I could say to you
I want to communicate to you

Don't go
Don't leave me

As he walks away he feels the pain getting strong
As you depart, he experiences a magnified agony

People in your life they don't know what's going on
The people in your life are unfamiliar with your predicament

Too proud to turn around, he's gone
Being arrogant, he didn't turn back, he left eventually

Baby don't turn around
Darling, don't look back
