Lyrics

Turn Your Back On Me

I've been searching for so long Now the search party is gone Won't somebody tell me what the hell went wrong We started out so strong I never wanted to hurt you I didn't plan to desert you I couldn't possibly express how much I care So, turn your back on me Come on, turn your back on me To survive, turn your back on me We're the same as far as I can see So, come on, turn your back on me If I could I would stand outside myself And pretend that I was looking back at somebody else If I could do it again would I merely defend it all to the end? Or do the ends justify themselves? I never wanted to hurt you I didn't plan to desert you I couldn't possibly express how much I care So, turn your back on me Come on, turn your back on me To survive, turn your back on me We're the same as far as I can see So, come on, turn your back on me.

This song is may be about love as well as Greg/Brett tandem I suppose.

This is symbolic, or may even be, his internal dialogue regarding him having to leave the band after STF.
