about

"I Won’t Turn You Away” is a colossal, slow-burning ballad about grief, and the struggle to let go. When you begin writing and your eyes fill with tears, that’s when you know you’re really digging into something that’s real.

Grief is so complex, and at the time of writing this song, I was seemingly surrounded by different types of it all at once. When you write to that person who’s lost someone, what the hell do you even say? I don’t blame people at all for not wanting to let go, to live with the memories and keep them alive. This song was written from their point of view.

lyrics

There’s rain in your hair
It’s stained all your shoes
The kind that falls lightly
The kind that can soak you right through

Step through the door
Bags in your hand
And words on your face
Words that you had all planned but

I won’t turn you away
I won’t turn you away

Where will you go
Is it somewhere I’d know
I hope that it’s peaceful there
Cliché of blue skies, fresh air

I won’t turn you away
No I won’t turn you away
No I won’t ask you to stay
But I can’t leave us this way

Ohh
Ohh

Memories cling to this place
Nothing stings like your name
I’ve never seen such a waste
‘Cos it’s just me and the rain


I won’t turn you away
No I won’t turn you away
I can’t breathe through this pain
But I won’t turn you away
