Song Lyrics

It's hard for you
seeing things the way you do.
When you gave up that way I knew.
You might get hurt again.

[Chorus]
I ran when the police tried to contact me.
I ran, I was so much afraid.
I ran, till my legs buckled under me.
I ran, but I wish that I'd stayed.
When I agreed to leave.
I didn't think you had to give another demonstration
like you did and hurt yourself again.

[Chorus]

I ran when the police tried to contact me.
I ran, I was so much afraid.
I ran, till my legs buckled under me.
I ran, but I wish that I'd stayed.
And now your lying injured in your bed.
I feel responsible for what you did.
I sometimes wish that it was me instead of you.
I want to say.
I'm sorry that I couldn't stay.
Although I let you down today.
You won't get hurt again.

[Repeat Chorus]
