you run, i sing

Every night when I close my eyes,
I watch you leave in my mind.
I can't seem to recall anything at all
from before you want away.

That moment in time has the strength to define
every moment from that day on.
I can't seem to erase the thought of your face
the day you said good-bye.

But you run
while I sing,
"oh what will tomorrow bring?"

If you would stay,
you would hear,
"darling, what have we to fear?"

Maybe if you were here, everything would be clear
about why you were right to go.
But I can't seem to accept when I can never forget
the reason I'm alone.

The things you fear will eat you alive.
If you had courage, to stay would we be okay,
or was it me who was wrong?
