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

and tell me that everythings all right

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 sacrafice

and I was the one who was lifting you up

when you thought your life had had enough

when I get close you turn away, nothing that I can do or say

so now I need you to tell me the truth

you know I would 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



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
