Running Away from Love

Why are you running, why are you hiding?

Tell me, what are you afraid of inside?

I love you, I need you, don’t push me away

You’re tearing me apart each and every day

If I love you, then why do I feel so alone?

Every little cry, every silent tone

You’re avoiding me, like I’m not even there

Breaking my heart with every stare

What are you hiding, what’s in your mind?

Why can’t you see I’m trying to find

A way to hold you, to make you stay

But you keep pushing all my pain away

You’re slowly killing me, piece by piece

Fighting with love, it’s a painful disease

I want to believe, I want to hold you tight

But you’re turning away every single night

I’ll leave if that’s what it takes to see

If you truly love, or just let me be

But every moment that you let me go

My heart aches, more than you'll ever know

So I’ll walk away, even though I cry

Hoping someday you'll see why

I loved you, I wanted to stay

But I can’t keep breaking this way
