I Don't Wanna Run

Picture perfect families
Never an unhappy face in old and present photographs
Taking love to a whole other level
A bright spark that flickers out like an old promise
Keeping old intentions in the air
We used to be a happy family but something went wrong here
Disgust flares up little by little until it’s a storm
I can’t see what led to this destruction

Chorus

Please don’t let me go
Cause I don’t wanna run
Away from you and all this life
Please let me stay

I asked you why you hate me so
You told me to get it right the first time
To look at myself and answer why
And so I said
Its not me I do everything you please as best as I can
A quick bite on the lip and a burning smack
Make me stumble down to the ground in tears
You tell me to leave and never come back

Chorus

Please don’t let me go
Cause I don’t wanna run
Away from you and all this life
Please let me stay

Anyone else would rather go
But I just want to stay and prove to you that we can fix this now
This problem isn’t fatal to life as we know it
Nothing that you want involves me
I’m laying it on thick
That I don’t want to disappear
I’ll still be around
When love breaks down

Chorus

Please don’t let me go
Cause I don’t wanna run
Away from you and all this life
Please let me stay

I hope you know that I still love you
Despite the fury that you show
I’ve got a sinking feeling
That this is true and no longer a childish nightmare
Nothing can uncover the answer to this mystery
Because you won’t tell anyone
So you let me suffer while you laugh
Please don’t say goodbye

Chorus

Please don’t let me go
Cause I don’t wanna run
Away from you and all this life
Please let me stay

Even though I’m gone
And you’re still around
I want you to know
That I forgive you for everything
And I miss you
Even your unpredictable screams
And powerful blows
And now I say goodbye

Chorus

Please don’t let me go
Cause I don’t wanna run
Away from you and all this life
Please let me stay
Please don’t let me go
Cause I don’t wanna run
Away from you and all this life
Please let me stay
And now I say
Goodbye
