All I want to do is run
Back into your arms
Tell you everything is fine
All I said was a lie
Be safe in your arms
My head on your chest
The best feeling I've ever had
All I want is to run back into
Your arms
Hold me
Hold me up so I won't fall
Tell you all my secrets
Keep them close don't tell a soul
But I can't use you like that
Pull you back into my soft embrace
That I can't promise I"ll hold
I can't promise forever
I can't promise tomorrow
But I wanna run into your arms
Be safe as long as I can
But I can't take you when I want you
And leave when I don't
I can't pull you around
Like a rag doll
My obsession
Then discarded
Not given a second thought
How could I think of doing that to someone
Using you for your love
Giving you small tastes of mine
In return, give the starving a crumb
And expect the world
Back again
So I'll stay away
When I know you want me too
But I can't cling to you when I'm scared
Your not there for me like that anymore
Not there
Not there
When all I want to do is run.

Feeling like a delusional lunatic who wants everything to be perfect, no matter how wrong it is. It can"t be, no matter how much we want it.
