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?
