The Runner and the Lover
Well I trust you
But not enough to place this gun in your hand
I've got a past you couldn't understand
I could love you
But that alone is the reason why I can't
Love is nothing but a weakness
Shaky hands, and your lips
I feel too safe around you
I can't afford to let you love me
And I will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
Where does that leave me?
I don't trust you
'Cause you're everything ive been praying for
And I'm scared that you won't find what you came looking for
I can't love you
When I can't even learn to love myself
Love is nothing but a weakness
Shaky hands, and your lips
I feel so safe around you
I beggin please just bring me in
And I will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
Where does that leave me
Where does that leave me?
Dying on the ground, asking why i couldn't see
'Cause every devil that I've ever loved
Looked just like a saint
So would you hold my soul and whisper close
That you will never change
You should leave
Don't walk away
'Cause my past and all this empty space is gonna kill me anyways
Anyway
And I will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
Where does that leave me?
And I will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
Where does that leave me?
And i will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
But not enough to place this gun in your hand
I've got a past you couldn't understand
I could love you
But that alone is the reason why I can't
Love is nothing but a weakness
Shaky hands, and your lips
I feel too safe around you
I can't afford to let you love me
And I will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
Where does that leave me?
I don't trust you
'Cause you're everything ive been praying for
And I'm scared that you won't find what you came looking for
I can't love you
When I can't even learn to love myself
Love is nothing but a weakness
Shaky hands, and your lips
I feel so safe around you
I beggin please just bring me in
And I will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
Where does that leave me
Where does that leave me?
Dying on the ground, asking why i couldn't see
'Cause every devil that I've ever loved
Looked just like a saint
So would you hold my soul and whisper close
That you will never change
You should leave
Don't walk away
'Cause my past and all this empty space is gonna kill me anyways
Anyway
And I will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
Where does that leave me?
And I will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
Where does that leave me?
And i will run
And I will run
Because lovers love
And then lovers leave
And if you say you love me
