Runaway Lyrics by Nightwell

Nightwell

2020

[Intro]
I saw you open the door
To a house that wasn’t yours
Oh you forgot your cigarettes
Of course you did they're on his bedroom floor
Oh, you know why

[Verse 1]
Well did you know you didn’t call back but texted I should
Go to bed without you, could I
Question what it was that kept you away (Am I too late?)
But everybody tried to tell me she was always lying and I'd see
She doesn’t really wanna lie awake beside me
Just in front

[Chorus]
How did I know, that you’d go
You left me broken, all alone
But I could never tell who you were
Behind all the silence, say, well did you love me too
You’re running away

[Verse 2]
Well you know I was every bit as tired as you
Eyes with bags too dark to see through
Only sleep I got was Citizen on repeat
But you were every bit as me, every bit of you
I can tell we're done, I can see it through
I don’t need to think back to
When we were younger

[Pre-Chorus]
You left me alone
You left me alone

[Chorus]
How did I know, that you’d go
You left me broken, all alone
But I could never tell who you were
Behind all the silence, say, well did you love me too
I'm running away

[Outro]
I won’t ever be the one
And I don’t think that’s fair
I tell myself that you're in love
But I’m painfully aware
I could tell you it's just lust
I see red either way
It doesn’t change where I'll end up
I hope that's ok
Though I saw you leave
You always wanna stay
The roses on your leave
I hope you don't retreat the pain
For all the times we'd run
For every single day
We spent together
Least I know you won’t forget my name
In all of this, I'll leave your keys on his welcome mat
