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
and tell me that everything´s all right
I just 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?

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 have to say?)
so why are you running away?
(to make you admit you´re afraid)
why are you running away?
