Tired of Running Away
You were born to run,
so you ran
You were raised not to get close,
so you kept your distance
Love was an emotion of little value to you,
discarded easily like yesterday news
You were so good at reading those soft hearts,
where to go for the most vulnerable parts
Feeding on their loneliness,
then leaving them with empty memories
of passionate nights
And broken promises come morning light
But I knew going in,
my eyes were wide open
The shallow man you were didn't faze me,
you just needed someone to teach you
how to love properly
You were born to run,
so you ran
This I fully understand
But I also knew that time was on the turn,
and you were gonna get tired of running away one day
Today is that day,
today you got tired of running away
The shallow man you were didn't concern me,
you just needed someone to teach you
how to love deeply
Now that you're tired of running away,
come rest my love ...
Now that you've gotten so tired from running away,
I welcome you into my heart to stay
forever always
