Running Away

I missed you when you disapeared 
i didnt know where to go or what to do 

I wanted to see your face, but all i saw was fog. 
I wanted to hold you tight but i didnt know where you were

I looked to the east, I looked to the west 
But no sign of you anywhere 
I hunted and cried 
And occasionally screamed. 
But i still didnt know where you were 
and wondered if you would still visit me 

If you still thought about me and cared 
If you saw how much i was hurting and wanted to talk to you 
But I couldnt see you or hear you so i continued running.

I ran and ran, from all i new 
from all i was and all i am
I felt alone and afraid 
and new you were crying 
I new i had hurt you and you were broken 
but i didnt know what to do so i just ran 

Hoping that things would work out themselves 
but freaking out that il never see your face again 
and i would never feel that way again. 

I spoke those three words
and apologised
but you starting running away from me too
you understood me and loved me for who I am 
but it hurt you too much so you took a step back. 

I walked out of your life and you walked out of mine 
Please, promise from now on you'l stay by my side 
Because when i left you 
I lost it all
