Run Away - 10cc

Remember I’m the one who didn’t have a lot to say

I was trying to find the courage, but I let you walk away

And I can’t forget your face, y’know it haunts me all the time

And it seems to me I’m living in a dream

Wish we could run away, and we could be alone together

Far away, and leave the world behind

Runaway, what I want to say is

You’re a part of me, let me be a part of you

Want to tell you what I’m thinking, but the words get in the way

When I’m sitting here alone I find the things I meant to say

If I wrote them in a letter, would you read between the lines

Would you understand how much I really care

(I) I love you

(Need) I need you

(You) Don’t want to live without you

If I’m backward counting forward, would you help me realize

All the answers to the questions I’ve been asking with my eyes

I could hand you all the cliches, but you’ve heard them all before

And I want to say I love you in my own way

And could we run away…
