I Want To Run

I want to run form all the pain,
Form these feelings I have for you,
I want to run from the tears that hunt me.

I want to run form the hurt,
From the damage and pain I cause,
I want to run away run run.

I want to run from you,
You have made me happy,
I’m scared to get close to you.

I want to run away from true love,
Run away because I’m afraid,
Run run that’s what I want to do.

I want to run cause I let you in,
I let you through the walls I’ve made,
What do I do now? I want to run away.

The voice in side my head says,
Run run run away don’t stay,
My heart says stay fight with all your might.

What do I choose?
Run like a coward and a fool,
Or stay and fight and keep fighting?
