What if I was wrong, and jumped to conclusions Cause the chance of losing you was all too dangerous So I just assume that you're doing things before you get the chance So I can leave and feel like I've got the upper hand Guilty yeah, maybe I'm just scared to go all in Never was much for the life of gambling But you can't win if you don't play If you don't play there's no shame in us Let's call a spade a spade
I said I wouldn't let you down But it's like we both have changed somehow You've made a disease of this town And you act like you don't care but you left
Your tears on the runway You think you're running away And you're leaving all your troubles behind But I'm not going with you this time I don't wanna try to pretend I'm somebody else Take me as I am or be left alone Tears on the runway, runaway You know that you love the chase Oh yeah, baby love With your tears on the runway
This thing with us is flying south if you know what I mean But I'm trying my best to keep you right here in my city A wise woman said, I wish people weren't afraid of love Then she packed her shit and she ran Like a coward when the thunder struck
Things aren't always picture perfect But picture us on top cause we're worth it Or go and get your ticket, and grab your sweater I used to live for the chase but now I know better
Tears on the runway You think you're running away And you're leaving all your troubles behind But I'm not going with you this time I don't wanna try and pretend I'm somebody else Take me as I am or be left alone Tears on the runway, runaway You know that you love the chase
