away

late at night i contemplate

on things that you've said

analyze and theorize

awake in my bed

there's got to be a way to reach you

i think in my head

all of this talk is getting nowhere

i've been mislead

and she turns away

every time those tears rain down

and she runs away

from the hand that reaches out

he said i feel betrayed it's over

my will is dead

there's no way out from this place

down this trail i've been led

i'm in too deep

the water's rising over my head

now i must look like such a fool

no warnings i read

and he runs away

and lets those tears rain down

and he turns away

from the ones that care the most

why did you run away

to hide those tears raining down

how could you turn away

from the ones that care the most
