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 

When I get close 
you turn away 
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 ohhh 
So why are you 

running away 
Why are you running away 
So why are you 
running away 

Why are you running away
