lyrics

WHEN YOU RAN
By T. Lightman

a choice of, placement
standing tall like a wall to the pavement
love shown, Mud thrown
wrong place, wrong time, guess i should have known

we wanted the same thing, How?
can we be the same thing, How?
how do i get over

CHORUS
when you ran
behind the words that you say
when you ran
You threw our love out of the way

regret was said, but a heart broke
too hard to repair when the air's so cold
no take back, only black
and blue from a battle, yeah it felt like that

we wanted the same thing, How?
can we be the same thing, How?
how do i get over

CHORUS

BRIDGE / OUTRO
oh and every day i've replayed all the hurtful things you said
like a broken record in my head
while you sleep soundly in our bed, in our bed
you ran
like a child and hid behind the words you spit in my face
how easily you're in that space
soon enough you'll push away love you can't replace

Oh, I've touched the flame, now the fires burning lower
I've felt the pain, Now the water's pouring over
and all that hurt and all those tears
all that was wrong
Has only made me stronger
