Run

You'll hold my hand, wherever it suits you
And you'll play my parts whenever you need to.

You can tell me a lie, and that's all okay
You'll save the truth for another day.

Because wrong isn't wrong, when it's coming from you,
so God forbid that the world has ever mistreated you.

Let's tell a story where the wrong one is me
Where you can still feel good about yourself, and be free.

The story's in my hands now, and I am at fault
Solely in line with your clever assaults.

It's not like I have any place to stand
Since you're in charge, since you're the man.

Don't you know a good lie when you hear one?
I'll tell you a million, and you'll never run.

You're lost in the lie you've told yourself for years
That since you're right, there's nothing to fear

No one can hate you, no one can hurt you
and no one can love you because you won't allow them to.

You can run from the truth and hide in your lies
But when it's all said and done, it's a pathetic disguise.

A soul so lost as you can't complain
When you hide from a person, and they still let you stay.

You'll read a thousand words into just one of mine
And find a reason to hate it, just to pass time.

Run from your mistakes, run away from me
It's not going to be hard to set your stories free.
