I tell you to run
Because I love you so much
I know you will crumble under the weight of it

I tell you to run
Because I am selfish
I can’t live without you so I have to

I tell you to run
Because I can’t hold you in earnest
I want you to be with someone who can

I tell you to run
Because I want to set you free
I have been holding you captive for too long

I tell you to run
Because if you’re far away
I will love you more than I do now

You can’t run
Because I’m not strong enough to let you go

You can’t run
Because you don’t want to leave me
You can’t run
Because one last night is never enough

You can’t run
Because all that lies at the end of your path is me

You can’t run
Because you are mine and I am yours

You have to run

Run
