Running Away (album version) Lyrics

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?
