Run For Your Life
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.
Seventeen years by her side
Broke the same bread
Wore the same clothes and we said
We're sisters with nothing between
If one of us fall
The other will soon be following
Both of you fell the same day
You don't know why
One of you never woke up
And you laid her body down on the floor
You're desperate to hear her footsteps again
But this house is on fire
We need to go
Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone
Run for your life, my love
Run and you don't give up
All that you are
All that you want
I will be close behind
Run for your life
She had a fire inside
And that terrified you
You swore that you'd never lose your control
Baby you let yourself go
Cuz' part of you hides
I know the hunger inside of you is strong
You can only hold back the river so long
Oh, you don't have to go it alone
Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone
Run for your life, my love
Run and don't give up
All that you are
All that you want
Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
I'll come back with you
Take all that's true
And leave all that's burned behind
Run for your life
Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone
Go it alone
Run for your life my love
Run and don't give up
All that you are
All that you want
Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
Go back a few
Take all that's true
And leave all that's burned behind
Run for your life
Run for your life
