lyrics

Just got off the phone with the airline
They lost my bags
Didn't need em but I lost my notebook
Ain't getting it back
Maybe if I wasn't running from you
I'd have it all
But you didn't come after me so
All I have is lost

Just got to a swanky hotel
Not a friend to see
Got a room with a city skyline
And a balcony
Maybe if I wasn't running from you
You'd be here too
But you didn't come after me so
I'm the lonely fool

If I came back on my knees
You'd kick me down
If I came back crying please
You'd turn me around
So I'll run away from you
I'll run until my face turns blue
But I ain't gonna let you see me cry

Got a bottle of my favorite whiskey
But I broke the jar
Didn't need it but I lost my money
Sitting at the bar
Maybe if I wasn't running from you
There'd be no thirst
But you didn't come after me so
I'm at my worst

If I came back with a rose
You'd find the thorn
If I asked to mend your clothes
You'd leave em torn
So I'll run away from you
I'll run until my face turns blue
But i ain't gonna let you see me cry

(Bridge/Solo)

Wonder if I'll get my life back
In a year or two
Don't know if I want it anyway
I can start anew
Maybe if I wasn't running from you
I'd be complete
But you didn't come after me so
I got a score to beat

If I came back on my knees
You'd kick me down
If I came back crying please
You'd turn me around
So I'll run away from you
I'll run until my face turns blue
But I ain't gonna let you see me cry
No I ain't gonna let you see me cry
