lyrics

RUNNING FROM LOVE
By T. Lightman

i was down under, hiding all too well
when you came crashing through my broken shell
always fear a love like you, so i know what i gotta do

showing no graces when i start to run
stumbling backwards is what i've become
don't need no helping hand, only ashes for what was a man

held my heart, held my soul, you held me back and won't let go
held my breath, held my tongue, as i turned away my only one

CHORUS
running from love
And i can't breath

pain's unfolding deep inside my chest
where my heart's racing where it used to rest
how bad i want that kiss, but i know i can't take that risk

held my heart, held my soul, you held me back wouldn't let go
so i clawed my way towards the sun as i turned away my only one

CHORUS

BRIDGE
should it end today
put my fears away
i can't live this way

don't wanna be alone
cause running on my own
is making me tired
so tired of running from love
