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

So why are you running away

Why are you running away

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

So why are you running away

Why are you running away

Is it me Is it you

Nothing that

I can do

To make you change your mind

(why you)

Is it me Is it you

Nothing that

I can do

Is it a waste of time

Is it me Is it you

Nothing that

I can do

To make you change your mind

So why are you running away

Why are you running away

(What is it I have to say )

So why are you running away

(To make you admit you're afraid)

Why are you running away
