Lyrics

The Runner And The Lover

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well I trust you

But not enough to place this gun in your hand

I've got a past you couldn't understand

I could love you

But that alone is the reason why I can't

Love is nothing but a weakness

Shaky hands, and your lips

I feel too safe around you

I can't afford to let you love me

And I will run

And I will run

Because lovers love

And then lovers leave

And if you say you love me

Where does that leave me?

I don't trust you

'Cause you're everything ive been praying for

And I'm scared that you won't find what you came looking for

I can't love you

When I can't even learn to love myself

Love is nothing but a weakness

Shaky hands, and your lips

I feel so safe around you

I beggin please just bring me in

And I will run

And I will run

Because lovers love

And then lovers leave

And if you say you love me

Where does that leave me

Where does that leave me?

Dying on the ground, asking why i couldn't see

'Cause every devil that I've ever loved

Looked just like a saint

So would you hold my soul and whisper close

That you will never change

You should leave

Don't walk away

'Cause my past and all this empty space is gonna kill me anyways

Anyway

And I will run

And I will run

Because lovers love

And then lovers leave

And if you say you love me

Where does that leave me?

And I will run

And I will run

Because lovers love

And then lovers leave

And if you say you love me

Where does that leave me?

And i will run

And I will run

Because lovers love

And then lovers leave

And if you say you love me
