Why Do You Run

Last night we laid in bed
all was pleasant and fine
I woke up this morning you were gone
I about lost my mind

You have done this before
but only when you got scared
About things getting serious 
you hoped I didn’t care

You wanted things to go your way
but we both got under one another skin
Both our emotions collided
set us forth in sin

Now as I wake your gone
no where to be found
The house is all quiet
there is no sound

I see your cloths are missing
and you don’t pick up your phone
I should of seen it coming
now I sit alone

I know your probably at the bus station
or catchin the train
I can go after you like I did before
and find you before i go insane

But why hold on to someone
that doesn’t want to be loved
Why hold to someone that is all
I ever think of

You knew what you were getting into
and still got close to me
To lead me on 
and still leave me feeling lonely

Should I feel betrayed or even hurt
in any such way
As you silently leave
with nothing to say

You walk out as if to never existed
knowing you got real close to me
Knowing I cared and loved you
now you are nothing to be

I know I never did you wrong 
we have always had fun
But I only have one question for you
why do you run….
