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
So why are you running away?

Why are you running away?
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

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've got to say...
So why are you running away?

...To make you admit you're afraid...
Why are you running away?
