I was running through my life
With a love I couldn’t share
Until the day I turned around
And found you standing there.
I was running through this world
Trying to chase away my fears
Until you offered me your hand
To help me wipe away my tears.
I was running away from memories
That kept on chasing me
Until you offered me a heart of gold,
And love to set me free.
I was trying to save an empty heart
From breaking needlessly,
And then you came along
And gave your love to me.
I was running away from love,
A love that never could be true,
But now that I have won your heart,
I’ll come running home to you.
