Running Away

there was a time
i’m sure you knew
when there was nothing
I wouldn’t do for you
it was just we simple few
against the world

we were fearless
unafraid
we were determined
to have our day
and promises were made
plans for our future

we had a way to climb
you said that we’d get there in time
you had a higher place in mind
to attain
and you’re run
and you’re run
and you’re running away

there was a time
I could believe
that we were trying to achieve
the same thing
but it seems
I was mistaken

you never asked if I agreed
to your ways and to your means
to the steps you say now need
to be taken

but if your plan didn’t work
if we had to face the worst
you always said you’d be the first
to change
and you’re run
and you’re run
and you’re running away

and you’re words
you’re word were brave right
from the start
and you had
you had the answers
in you heart

but when things didn’t
go your way
when your plans
began to change
you left us in the
firing range
and you were gone
you were gone

and you’re run
and you’re run
and you’re running away
