i don't want you
    to give it all up
    live your own life collecting dust
    and i don't want you
    to feel sorry for me
    it never gave us a chance to be
    
    and i don't need you
    to be by my side
    to tell me that everything's alright
    just wanted you
    to tell me the truth
    you know i'd do that for you
    
    so why are you running away?
    why are you running away?
    
    'cause i get enough
    to show you that i
    was willing to give and sacrifice
    and i was the one
    that was lifting you up
    when you thought your life had had enough
    
    when i get close
    you turn away
    there's nothing that i can do or say
    so now i need you
    to tell me the truth
    you know i'd do that for you
    
    so why are you running away?
    why are you running away?
    
    is it me, is it you
    nothing that i can do
    to make you change your mind?
    is it a waste of time?
