She needed shelter from the rain
She saw it on the sign
It said 'We're open till midnight'
I'm sorry by the way
I came here just the other day
And you look so familiar
And maybe you and I
Can have a drink and start the night
With a friendly conversation (you know)

Can you and I be truthful now?
What you runnin' away from?
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you runnin' away from?
What you runnin' away from?

She woke up at 4AM
To smoke a cigarette again
And she stood in the doorway
She said I love to watch you sleep
Then hear the secrets that you keep
And remember what my father told me
He said stay strong and don't forget to call
But don't ever come back at all

Can you and I be truthful now?
What you runnin' away from?
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you runnin' away from?
What you runnin' away from?

Things don't turn out quite the way we planned

Didn't you even try?
When you knew something steered you wrong again
When did you decide?
You don't belong here
You don't belong (No!)

Can you and I be truthful now?
What you runnin' away from?
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you runnin' away from?
(What you runnin' away from?)

Can you and I be truthful now?
What you runnin' away from?
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you runnin' away from?
(What you runnin' away from?)

I'm just a runaway
I seek the end you follow
I cannot think today
What you runnin' away from?
I'm just a runaway
I seek the end you follow
I cannot think today
I'm just a empty shell
