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 everything's 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 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 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?
