I stand here face to face
with someone that I used to know
used to look at me and laugh
Well now he claims
That he's known me for so very long
but I remember being no one
I wanted to be just like you
so perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
someone who used to have it all
do you remember now?
you acted liked you never noticed me
forget it!
because the dawn has come around
you're not allowed to be a part of me
Did you know me
or where you too preoccupied with
playing king in your small kingdom
Well now the real world
has stripped you of your royalty
from your kingdom your evicted
I wanted to be just like you
so perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now?
you acted liked you never noticed me
FORGET IT!
because the dawn has come around
you're not allowed to be a part of me
part of me
you're never going to be a part of me
Do you remember now?
you acted liked you never noticed me
FORGET IT!
because the dawn has come around
you're not allowed to be a part of me
part of me
running away
I don't want you to give it all up
and leave your own life collecting dust
and I don't want you to feel sorry for me
you never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
and tell me that everythings all right
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
I did enough to show you that I was willing to give and sacrafice
and I was the one who was lifting you up
when you thought your life had had enough
when I get close you turn away, nothing that I can do or say
so now I need you to tell me the truth
you know I would do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
To make you change your mind
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
Is it a waste of time?
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
to make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
(What is it I have to say?)
So why are you running away?
(To make you admit you're afraid)
Why are you running away?
