verse 1: i don't want you to give it all up and leave your own life
collecting dust and i don't want you to feel sorry for me you never gave
us a chance to be and i don't need you to be by my side to tell me that
everything's alright i just wanted you to tell me the truth you know i'd
do that for you

chorus: why are you running away?

verse 2: ' cause i did enough to show you that i was willing to give and
sacrifice and i was the one who was lifting you up when you thought your
life had had enough and when i get close you turn away there's nothing
that i can do or say so now i need you to tell me the truth you know i'd
do that for you

repeat chorus

bridge: is it me? is it you? nothing that i can do to make you change your
mind is it me? is it you? nothing that i can do is it a waste of time?

last chorus: so why are you running away? what is it i have to say to make
you admit you're afraid? why are you running away?
