I Say It Like A Joke (But It's True)

I don't really play piano
But I would learn for you
I'd play from day to night
Until my hands are cracked and dry
I'd play your favorite songs
And write some too

'Cause every girl I've loved goes crazy
I say it like a joke, but it's true
They always seem like they're worth chasing
By the time my mind is changing
I think I'd like to be alone with you

I'm not running away the way they do
I'm not running away
I'm not running away unless you are too

I don't know who was lying
My parents or my friends or the truth
I thought I had it all
Until my back's against the wall
And I have no one to tell this story to

So every job I've had feels empty
I wish that was a joke, I really do
Every hour's just another little second we're together
How the hell am I supposed to make it through

I'm not running away the way they do
I'm not running away
I'm not running away unless you are too

I'm not running away the way they do
I'm not running away
I'm not running away unless you are too

'Cause every girl I've loved goes crazy
The craziest one's still loving me
It's so much easier to sleep
Even though they're haunting me
The nightmare cannot stand beneath this dream

And I'm not running away the way they do

I'm not running away the way they do
I'm not running away
I'm not running away unless you are too

I'm not running away the way they do
I'm not running away
I'm not running away unless you are too
