You were a light,
a stroke of hope amongst the dark;
you were the chance
for me to open up my heart.
Yet I saw you fly away from me
and I didn't know how to keep you back.
So close, so near,
my every thought was filled with you;
can't take the risk
of losing and not pulling through,
so I pushed you away from me
and I know you won't be coming back.
My loneliness is wrapped in fear,
it's taking the lead, so I'm gonna stay
behind the comfort of a dream.
I want to get near, but I gotta say
it's so much easier to run away.
It hurts to say
I'm not as strong as I proclaim;
I hide my grief
but it will find me anyway,
'cause I pushed you away from me
and I know you won't be coming back.
My loneliness is wrapped in fear,
it's taking the lead, so I'm gonna stay
behind the comfort of a dream.
I want to get near, but I gotta say
it's so much easier to run away.
