Run Away – Escape the Gray

LYRICS ::

I walked outside
Put on my leather jacket
The air was chilly
& I was hesitant

I tried to call you
You didn’t answer
I finally reached out
But you weren’t there

I couldn’t find you
Why couldn’t you just give me your number
You said you loved me
Why’d you have to run away?
Why’d you have to run away this way?

I stood out there
Listening to the phone through
There was no reply
What did you expect me to do?
Your mother answer
Told me you’d already left town
I walked back inside
& felt like we were fading fast

I couldn’t find you
Why couldn’t you just give me your number
Nobody ever made me feel
Like I could do anything
Nobody really gives a damn
Why’d you have to run away?
Why’d you have to run away?
Why’d you have to run away this way?

I had a dream that I saw you
Sitting on the floor, you stood up
Just when I tried to call your name, no sound would come out
I watched you walk away
& I couldn’t do anything to stop you
Because you were already gone
Don’t you remember those summer days
& how we wasted time together
Holding hands & running in the sun
& now just like that all this is gone

I couldn’t find you
Why couldn’t you just give me your number
Nobody ever made me feel
Like I was not invisible
Nobody really gives a damn,
Why’d you have to run away?
Why’d you have to run away this way?

I miss that tenderness the most,
Are we meant to be,
Or are you hiding inside yourself?
Because you can’t let anybody in,
Just like the one I used to be,
Are you afraid of loving someone truly?
Afraid of being loved by someone other than your mother & father?
I couldn’t find you

Nobody really gives a damn,
Why’d you have to run away?
Why’d you have to run away?
Why’d you have to run away?
Why’d you have to run away this way?
