Run Back

I see the lights fade out in your eyes

Every word you say, another goodbye

You say you need a roof over your head

But I'd give you mine instead

You're chasing ghosts you swore you'd leave

Trading love for security

But you can't build a future on a broken past

And I know that this won't last

I'm screaming in the silence

Trying to break through

You're choosing empty promises

Over something true

Run back if you have to

But don't you dare forget

I'd have carried every burden

I'd have paid every debt

Run back to the wreckage

If that's where you belong

But I'll still be the one

Who loved you all along

You're selling your heart for a place to stay

But baby, love shouldn't cost you that way

He left you shattered once before

Do you really want that war?

I'd have built a life on my knees

Begged the heavens just to see you breathe

But you're walking straight into the fire

For a cage that you desire

I'm fighting with the thunder

While you're choosing rain

And I can't save an angel

Who wants to feel the pain

Run back if you have to

But don't you dare forget

I'd have carried every burden

I'd have paid every debt

Run back to the ashes

To the hurt you know too well

But I'll still be the heaven

You keep running back from hell

And when he breaks you down again

I'll still whisper your name

But love can't save the one

Who chooses the chain

Run back if you have to

But don't you dare forget

I'd have burned down my whole world

Just to erase your debt

Run back to the darkness

If that's what you believe

But I'll still be the light

You never let yourself see
