You were a light, a stroke of hope amongst the dark; You were the chance for me to open up my heart. Yet I saw you fly away from me and I didn't know how to keep you back. So close, so near, my every thought was filled with you; Can't take the risk of loosing and not pulling through, So I pushed you away from me and I know you won't be coming back. My loneliness is wrapped in fear, It's taking the lead, so I'm gonna stay behind the comfort of a dream. I want to get near, but I gotta say it's so much easier to run away. It hurts to say I'm not as strong as I proclaim; I hide my grief but it will find me anyway, 'Cause I pushed you away from me and I know you won't be coming back. My loneliness is wrapped in fear, It's taking the lead, so I'm gonna stay behind the comfort of a dream. I want to get near, but I gotta say It's so much easier to run away.
