We were so young
when I ran away.
To my fears I clung.
When the night turned into day
I didn't come back.
But I sure did pray.
When I left I didn't pack.
I only brought my regret and fears.
They barely fit into my pockets.
And then I look at the sun.
I think it shines for you
the morning after I run.
I know that what I do
isn't the best thing for me
But it sure feels good to feel the sun
and know you're looking at me.
Did you see me cry?
when we talked that night.
When the pond was sparkling white
And we sat on the bench.
I saw your fists clench.
You looked at the ground
as the fog settled all around.
Just like the fog in my mind.
You put me in a bind.
I tried to look up to the clear sky
but I can't see the stars.
My eyes are dilated.
I'm frustrated.
You're blinding me
with this fog you make.
My knees, they shake.
Did you see me shed a tear?
When you spoke so unclear.
I wasn't shivering because it was cold.
You looked at me as if I was gold
wanting what you couldn't have.
I am not a thing that you desire.
Don't you know not to play with fire?
As you scoot near,
I begin to fear.
The tides have turned.
Be careful or you'll be burned.
I’m all alone tonight, sitting in my room
I find myself thinking
Thinking of you
I don’t know how
How to go on
I need to break this now
This habit of running
It’s just like the sweat on my brow
I can’t seem to see, what’s right in front of me
This sticky sweaty mess is blinding
I don’t want this anymore
Running is what gives me peace
This sitting down is tearing me up inside
But I see the track out my window
I sit and stare, but I don’t go
I wish that I were brave
But this fear of staying is unbearable
Where are you?
Where are you darling?
I want to find you
But I’m so scared
Do I even know you?
Are you here?
I want to make the right choice
But how can I, if you hide
I want to run away
Far into the wilderness
Where I can just pray
Pray that you will find me
But if you came I wonder if I’d even recognize you
