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, you could 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 It's not something to cry about It's not something to lie about You run away, you could turn and stay But you run away from me
