She needed shelter from the rain
She saw it on the sign
It said we're open till midnight
I'm sorry by the way
I came here just the other day
And you look so familiar
And maybe you and I can have a drink and start the night
With a friendly conversation oh
Can you and I be truthful now
What you run away from
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you run away from
What you run away from
She woke before am
To smoke a cigarette again
And she stood in the doorway stood in the doorway
She said I love to watch you sleep
And hear the secrets that you keep
And remember what my father told me told me
He said stay strong and don't forget to call
But don't ever come back at all
Can you and I be truthful now
What you run away from
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you run away from
What you run away from
I think sometimes I'll cry the way I planned to
And even try
When you know something steered you wrong again
When did you decide
You don't belong here
You don't belong
Can you and I be truthful now
What you run away from
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you run away from
What you run away from
Can you and I be truthful now
What you run away from
And then you know the pain to make it through somehow
What you run away from
What you run away from
I still walk away
I still clearly follow
I can not think today
What you run away from
I'm just a run away
I still can not follow
I can not think today
I'm just an empty shell
