You take another drink to drown memory Of the wait for me's and I love you's Street lights and parked cars Snow banks under blue stars You don't know who's walking home with you And I promised you that I'd be there for you So why are runnin' away? Won't feel like mistakes If you don't turn around and face 'em If you drink enough to think it wasn't real And you hide inside the city So busy and so empty You call, but you can't say how you feel And I promised you that I'd be there for you So why are runnin' away? Oh Don't need excuses for who you've been I'm more for who you wanna be And you say it's useless trying to be someone That you can depend on, but I know I know that you're tired and you're ready to come home Why are runnin' away? Oh Stop runnin' Stop runnin' Stop runnin' Stop runnin'
