I saw you dancing in a crowded room

You look so happy when I'm not with you

But then you saw me,

caught you by surprise

A single teardrop falling from your eye

I don't know why I run away

I'll make you cry when I run away

You could have asked me

why I broke your heart

You could've told me that you fell apart

But you walked past me

like I wasn't there

And just pretended like you didn't care

I don't know why I run away

I'll make you cry when I run away

Take me back 'cause I wanna stay

Save your tears for another

Save your tears for another day

Save your tears for another day

I made you think that I would always stay

I said some things that I should never say

Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine

And now you won't love me for a second time

I don't know why I run away, Oh girl,

Said I'll make you cry when I run away

Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay

Save your tears for another

I realize that I'm much too late

And you deserve someone better

Save your tears for another day

Save your tears for another day

I don't know why I run away

I'll make you cry when I run away

Save your tears for another day, ooh, girl

I said save your tears for another day

Save your tears for another day

Save your tears for another day
