Runaway
Before you knew me I called your name
I was your rose in a desolate place
Out of the ashes I made you new
Made you new
I breathed every inch upon your skin
I know every untold thought upon your lips
And still in the darkest corners of your soul
I long to make you whole
Why did you have to leave this shelter
A place you used to call your home
My heart has never yearned more
more more
Why did you have to runaway runaway
I love you I won't make you stay make you stay
Why did you have to runaway runaway
Runaway Runaway
Walking through the broken night
I saw desire in your eyes
I knew it then the time would come
We would not be one
I saw you in the morning twilight
Your back was turned away from home
I knew that in that moment you were
Gone gone
Why did you have to runaway runaway
I love you I won't make you stay make you stay
Why did you have to runaway runaway
Runaway Runaway
I would leave the ninety-nine
If it meant you'd come back home
I would leave the ninety-nine
To show you're not alone
I would leave the ninety-nine
To make you flesh and bone
Why did you have to runaway runaway
I love you I won't make you stay make you stay
Why did you have to runaway runaway
Runaway Runaway
I was your rose in a desolate place
Out of the ashes I made you new
Made you new
I breathed every inch upon your skin
I know every untold thought upon your lips
And still in the darkest corners of your soul
I long to make you whole
Why did you have to leave this shelter
A place you used to call your home
My heart has never yearned more
more more
Why did you have to runaway runaway
I love you I won't make you stay make you stay
Why did you have to runaway runaway
Runaway Runaway
Walking through the broken night
I saw desire in your eyes
I knew it then the time would come
We would not be one
I saw you in the morning twilight
Your back was turned away from home
I knew that in that moment you were
Gone gone
Why did you have to runaway runaway
I love you I won't make you stay make you stay
Why did you have to runaway runaway
Runaway Runaway
I would leave the ninety-nine
If it meant you'd come back home
I would leave the ninety-nine
To show you're not alone
I would leave the ninety-nine
To make you flesh and bone
Why did you have to runaway runaway
I love you I won't make you stay make you stay
Why did you have to runaway runaway
Runaway Runaway
