Run Lyrics

She's standing in the corner

At the end of the street

The long-awaited step

Has found it's way to her feet

She's checking over shoulder

Every once in a while

Holding to the pen

That was her voice of goodbye

She's on the road toward a life

That she never had

Accompanied by fear

And with a bag in her hand

She's smiling to herself

Despite the fear and despair

Knowing there is so much more

She could declare

And the tear that she sees

On the shirtsleeve

Is not from the same place

As the ones before

That came in floods

As to wash away

What he made her believe

To be real

And all her

All her crying

Is locked away in the single

Page she wrote

And all her

All her dying

Is in the rearview

Of her open road

He's waking to the silence

Unknown to the night before

His hit from the forehead

Is as red as the floor

She did this to him

He can see it flashing by

With his bottle in her hand

She really made him

Work for it this time

A single bit of paper on the table

Caught his eye

What it said made him wish

That her hit had made him blind

He fell down to his knees

Into the ground into a ditch

No getting up this time

So he sat there

Then he cried like a...

And the scream that they heard

From the first floor

Is not from the same place

As the ones before

A scream of defeat

And not from a fight

That used to echo

Throughout the night

And all his

All his lying

Is locked away in the single

Page she wrote

And all his

Fuckin' denying

Is in the rear-view

Of her open road

She's done with the forgiveness

For the things she hasn't done

She's done with the politeness

For the man that had none

The smoke is filling up

In every cell of her lungs

She's close to being free

But still on the Run
