Lyrics
You keep running away
You consistently avoid staying or committing
Though I beg you not to leave
Despite my pleas for you to stay
But still you won't stay
But you continue to leave
Darlin' you keep running away
My dear, you persistently run away
Tear my heart apart every step of the way
You cause pain in my heart with each departure
You're here today and gone tomorrow
You're present briefly and disappear suddenly
Leavin' this heart of mine in sorrow
Leaving my heart in sorrow
Now you come around every now and then
You return intermittently
Long enough to hurt me, and then you're gone again
Long enough to hurt me, then you vanish again
Darlin' you, you keep running away
My love, you persistently run away
Oh, I begged you not to leave, you never stay
Despite my pleas, you never stay
Now you, you keep running away
You continuously avoid staying
Leavin' me here to face another lonely day
Leaving me to face another lonely day
To you all of this is just a game
To you, it's just a game
But each time you came here, I feel the pain
I feel pain each time you come
But I've got so much love for you
Despite the pain, I have a lot of love for you
I keep wanting you, no matter what you do
I want you despite your actions
All I want to do is take care of you
I desire to take care of you
Everything I have in my life, I'll share with you
I'm willing to share everything in my life with you
This soul of mine has been possessed by you
You have a profound influence on my soul
Darling my heart has been obsessed with you
My heart is consumed by thoughts of you
Just look at me, I'm not the man, I used to be
I have changed because of you
I used to be proud, I used to be strong
I used to be proud and strong
But all of that's changed girl, since you come along
But you've changed me since you came along
Your lovin' sweetness is my weakness
Your love is my weakness
Though I need you, dear, I just can't keep you near
Despite needing you, I can't keep you close
Running away, running away, running away
Repeated emphasis on your tendency to run away
Running away, running away, running away
-Each time you go, the hurt comes callin'
Each time you leave, the pain returns
My days become nights, darlin'
My days become nights in your absence
My nights become so much longer
Nights feel longer without you
You're in my life, you're in my heart
You're a part of my life and heart
But I can't get you, get you into my arms
I can't physically embrace you
Darlin' you, you keep runnin' away
Repeated expression of frustration as you keep running away
Darlin' you, you just keep runnin' away
