I don't want you to give it all up
  And leave your own life collecting dust
  And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
  You never gave us a chance to be
  And I don't need you to be by my side
  To tell me that everything's alright
  Jjust wanted you to tell me the truth
  You know I'd do that for you
  So why are you running away?
  Why are you running away?
  Cause I did enough to show you that I
  Was willing to give and sacrifice
  And I was the one who was lifting you up
  When you thought your life had had enough
  And when I get close, you turn away
  There's nothing that I can do or say
  So now I need you to tell me the truth
  You know I'd do that for you
  So why are you running away?
  Why are you running away?
  Is it me, is it you
  Nothing that I can do
  To make you change your mind
  Is it me, is it you
  Nothing that I can do
  Is it a waste of time?
  Is it me, is it you
  Nothing that I can do
  To make you change your mind
  So why are you running away?
  Why are you running away?
  ...What is it I've got to say...
  So why are you running away?
  ...To make you admit you're afraid...
  Why are you running away?
