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, oh
Can you and I be truthful now? What you run away from And then you know the pain to make it through somehow What you run away from What you run away from
She woke before AM To smoke a cigarette again And she stood in the doorway (Stood in the doorway) She said I love to watch you sleep And hear the secrets that you keep And remember what my father told me (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 run away from And then you know the pain to make it through somehow What you run away from What you run away from
It feel wrong I think sometimes I'll cry the way I planned to And even try When you know something steered you wrong again When did you decide You don't belong here You don't belong
Can you and I be truthful now? What you run away from And then you know the pain to make it through somehow What you run away from What you run away from Can you and I be truthful now? What you run away from And then you know the pain to make it through somehow What you run away from What you run away from
I still walk away I still clearly follow I can not think today What you run away from I'm just a run away I still can not follow I can not think today I'm just an empty shell
