Anyone But You Lyrics

First saw you when I was young

A frightened boy and all alone

No life to live, always on the run

Trying to survive the cold at night

You came and held my hand

Gave me hope and filled my heart

You said you understand

And gave me strength to carry on

I'm running circles in my mind

All because of you

I don't want to be with anyone

Anyone but you

Found myself serving time

In service of a greater kind

Brothers and sisters all around

Fighting at night to get back home

Explosions all around

People screaming to hit the ground

My thoughts were of you

Which gave me strength to carry through

I'm running circles in my mind

All because of you

I don't want to be with anyone

Anyone but you

Got back home from the war

A stronger man than I was before

Looked for you, all around

Hoping to ask for your loving hand

Friends said you lost your way

And took your life on one dark day

I dropped to my knees

And prayed to God to help me please

I'm running circles in my mind

All because of you

I don't want to be with anyone

Anyone but you

Fifteen years have gone on by

A frightened man with no one on my side

Lived a life, but all alone

Surrounded by the nightmares of my past

Images haunt my dreams

People next door, they hear my screams

I see you standing there

So, I close my eyes and try not to stare

I'm running circles in my mind

All because of you

I won't ever be with anyone

Because they're not you

Why'd you have to leave me alone
