Running Scared

Just running scared
Each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah running scared
What would I do
If he came back and wanted you?
Just running scared
Feeling low
Running scared, you loved him so
Just running scared
Afraid to lose
If he came back, which one would you choose?
Then all at once
He was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be?
You turn around and walk away with me
