Songs I Wrote

Run Away

Every day, waiting for you to see me

Make it sound like you'll always be here

'Always' doesn't have conditions, dear

Was half a year that you were gone

I guess 'always' isn't really that long

Life turning your head in every direction

Please excuse my expectations

Don't let me get in the way of your true love

And now we'll never run away

You choose him over and over

I used to be the one loved more,

I'm still here as your audience when

You let the waves crash,

I watch from the shore

You deal with his shit and

Then just wait for more

You painted me a picture of how it's going to be

You'll live closer and we'd go through life, you and me

The painting fades like disappearing ink

I reach for my heart as it starts to sink

It's stuck in quicksand when you reach for my hand

But I know I'm only renting yours,

So I'll let it go back to him

And now we'll never run away

You choose him over and over

I used to be the one loved more,

I'm still here as your audience when

You let the waves crash,

I watch from the shore

You deal with his shit and

Then just wait for more

You're just a green light I couldn't reach

I won't wait another day for you to change your mind

I won't waste another day thinking about what you left behind

You made your choice

And I've lost my voice

It's another crack in my heart, but I understand

I'll happily stand and grin and drown as your best man

And now we'll never run away

You choose him over and over

I used to be the one loved more,

I'm still here as your audience when

You let the waves crash,

I watch from the shore

You deal with his shit and

Then just wait for more
