TO THE RIGHT AND DOWN
You turned your headTo the right and down
Respect disrepected upheld
Heaven's king a lion
Thought by now time would heal
Guess not since you were different
To be a real man takes courage
To the right and down
Prepared a speech to set the story straight
Anticipated wild game but you were serious
Just showing up ain't good enough nowadays
To the right and down
My sigh hits the ground
To the right and down
You turned your head
To the right and down
Ya said I made the same mistake
Turning my wrong into what I wanted
Never guessed you'd walk away so easy
You turned your head
To the right and down
Respect disrespected upheld
Heaven's king a lion
What seemed normal to me tore you deep
Swept it under the rug out of mind for keeps
Blaming myself rocking criminals to sleep
To the right and down
My sigh hits the ground
To the right and down
You turned your head
To the right and down
Thought by now time would heal
I guess not since you were different
To be a real man takes courage
To the right and down
To the right
To the right
To the right
To the right and down
