[Lyrics for Barenaked Ladies – You Run Away]
You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me.
I tried to be your brother
You cried and ran for cover
I made a mess, who doesnt
I did my best but it wasnt enough
You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me.
Ill give you something you can cry about
One thing you should try it out
Hold a mirror shoulder high
When youre older look you in the eye
When youre older look you in the eye
I tried but you tried harder
I lied but you lied smarter
You made me guess who was it
I did my best but it wasnt enough.
You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me
You run away (I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay (You cried and ran for cover)
But you run away from me (I made a mess, who doesnt, I did my best but it wasnt enough)
But thats not something to cry about (crrryyyy!)
Its not something to lie about
You run away (I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay (You cried and ran for cover)
But you run away from me (I made a mess, who doesnt, I did my best but it wasnt enough)
