The Day She Ran Away Lyrics

Been years since I've pictured the days that you had me

The innocence before it's bitter end

Her laugh, holding small hands steady

With Superman and rock stars and play pretend

Did that little girl know, who you were all alone

Cursing the ceiling, as the static fills my ears

Please save hello, because you and I both know

You created her when she looks in the mirror

I could fight anger with anger, till I turn blue

But there never was a brand new you

Can somebody never got to know decay

The day she ran away

All the ways to fix me, infinite many

And tears sucked back as I choke down cement

Your laugh, something far from friendly

As I pinch my waist and burn out all my breath

Old yet vivider years, and John Mayer in my ear

Says please be good to me, and I will turn out fine

Save those tears for sleep, and don't talk about the gears

That turn my mind in circles when I draw the blinds

I could fight anger with anger, till I turn blue

But there never was a brand new you

Can somebody never got to know decay

And if we could start over, would you care to

Have saved someone from the darkness you had made

The day she ran away
