You Run Away Lyrics

Barenaked Ladies - You Run Away

You run away

You could turn and stay

But you run away

From me

I tried to be

Your brother

You cried and

Ran for cover

I made a mess, who doesn't

I did my best

But it wasn't enough

You run away

You could turn and stay

But you run away from me

You run away

could You turn and stay

But you run away from me

I'll give you something you can cry about

One thing, you should try it out

Hold a mirror shoulder-high

When you're older, look you in the eye

When you're older, look you in the eye

I tried, but you tried harder

I lied, but you lied smarter

You made me guess, who was it?

I did my best but it wasn't enough

You run away

You could turn and stay

But you run away from me

You run away

You could turn and stay

But you run away from me

You run away tried to be your

You could turn and stay cried and ran for

But you run away made a mess who

From me did my best but it wasn't
