Runner Lyrics

when you're old enough.
when you've been through it.
you won't know what its like.
you can't see things the same,
but you're closer now.
did you close your eyes?
did i close them first?
you weren't strong enough.
I'm no stronger than you,
but the years take their toll on us all.
I'm starting to see
why you drifted away after all.
no one explains to you
where the things go that you love,
till they've already gone.
you held on for us.
the house gathered dust.
we were selfish then,
and we held on to things,
but theyre all gone now.
did i take too long?
did i ask too much?
i didn't love you as much as i could,
and the silence is killing me now.
how many times will i try to pretend that you're hear?
i had a few questions i never got to ask you in time.
