Seventeen years by her side
Broke the same bed
Wore the same clothes and we said
We're sisters with nothing between
If one of us falls
The other will soon be following

Both of you fell the same day
You don't know why
One of you never woke up
And you laid by her down on the floor
Desperate to hear her footsteps again
But this house is on fire
We need to go

Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

Run for your life my love,
Run and don't give up
With all that you are,
All that you want
I will be close behind
Run for your life

She had a fire inside
And that terrified you
You swore you'd never lose your control
Baby let yourself go
It's part of your height
And I know the hunger inside of you is strong
You can only hold back the river so long

Oh, you don't have to go it alone
Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

Run for your life my love,
Run and you don't give up
With, all that you are
And all that you want
Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
Come back a few
Take all that's true
And leave all that's broke behind
Run for your life

Oh, you don't have to go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone,

Run for your life my love
Run and you don't give up
All that you are
All that you want
Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
Go back a a few
Take all that's true
And leave all that's burnt behind

Just run for your life
Run for your life
