Running Scared Lyrics

Get out your pen and paper

I'm the book and you're the author

Flip a page in the chronicles of falling apart

You're in the bedroom I sleep in the living room

Eyes wide open, left alone

A box of cigarettes (you) crossed your fingers behind my back

White lies spoken, a smoking gun

Are we running out of time

Or are we just running away

Is this battle field behind our backs what's left of what we've built

Are we running from the past

Or are we running from the truth

Against the odds and now we've lost, these are the cards that we've been dealt

Deep dive or run for shelter

In a summer storm I found her

Turn your back on the memories of falling in love

You're in the bedroom I sleep in the living room

Five feet away, yet worlds apart

A box of cigarettes (you) crossed your fingers behind my back

Building bridges just to burn them down

Are we running out of time

Or are we just running away

Is this battle field behind our backs what's left of what we've built

Are we running from the past

Or are we running from the truth

Against the odds and now we've lost, these are the cards that we've been dealt

Are we running out of time

Or are we just running away

Is this battle field behind our backs what's left of what we've built

Are we running from the past

Or are we running from the truth

Against the odds and now we've lost, these are the cards that we've been dealt

Are we running out of time

Or are we just running away

Is this battle field behind our backs what's left of what we've built

Are we running from the past

Or are we running from the truth

Against the odds and now we've lost, these are the cards that we've been dealt
