You Ran
You promised me that you would do
Whatever it takes
To help me understand that skull of yours
You promised me hand over heart
That you'd tell me honestly
If there wasn't enough of you left
For me to hold
And you ran
Just this once
Oh you ran away
Sticking true to your guns all the way
And you ran just this once
Oh you ran away
Plastered face to the front
You're a fake
Why don't you fake it
I lied to you just the once to break it even
I never meant for it to end
I lied to you to self-preserve whatever I had left
Cause beating inside me there was nothing
For you to hold
And you ran
Just this once
Oh you ran away
Sticking true to your guns all the way
And you ran just this once
Oh you ran away
Plastered face to the front
You're a fake
To be honest we were never meant to breathe
The same air
Cause whatever I gave you stole from me
And left me there
To be honest we were never meant to breathe
The same air
Cause whatever I gave you stole from me
You stole from me
Why don't you fake it?
Fake it
It's all you know
Sink into the lies
Wonder how far you'll go
Just to escape
And you ran
Just this once
Oh you ran away
Sticking true to your guns all the way
And you ran just this once
Oh you ran away
Plastered face to the front
You're a fake
Why don't you fake it
(We were never meant to breathe)
Why don't you fake it
(You stole from me)
Why don't you fake it
(We were never meant to breathe)
Whatever it takes
To help me understand that skull of yours
You promised me hand over heart
That you'd tell me honestly
If there wasn't enough of you left
For me to hold
And you ran
Just this once
Oh you ran away
Sticking true to your guns all the way
And you ran just this once
Oh you ran away
Plastered face to the front
You're a fake
Why don't you fake it
I lied to you just the once to break it even
I never meant for it to end
I lied to you to self-preserve whatever I had left
Cause beating inside me there was nothing
For you to hold
And you ran
Just this once
Oh you ran away
Sticking true to your guns all the way
And you ran just this once
Oh you ran away
Plastered face to the front
You're a fake
To be honest we were never meant to breathe
The same air
Cause whatever I gave you stole from me
And left me there
To be honest we were never meant to breathe
The same air
Cause whatever I gave you stole from me
You stole from me
Why don't you fake it?
Fake it
It's all you know
Sink into the lies
Wonder how far you'll go
Just to escape
And you ran
Just this once
Oh you ran away
Sticking true to your guns all the way
And you ran just this once
Oh you ran away
Plastered face to the front
You're a fake
Why don't you fake it
(We were never meant to breathe)
Why don't you fake it
(You stole from me)
Why don't you fake it
(We were never meant to breathe)
