In the middle of the road
In the darkness of the night
You were like a frightened animal
In my headlight
You were cought within the glare
You were taken by surprise
It was like a shiny ray of truth
Shown in your eyes
Why do you run?
Why do you lie?
Were you sure that you were safe?
That no one would ever find
You could just resign yourself
To leave your love behind
In the quiet far away
You had built a place to hide
Living all alone with just
Your thoughts of suicide
Why do you run?
Why do you lie?
Well, I can't believe anyone could pretend
She wanted her world to come to an end
And she won't even hear the words of an angel
The words of a friend
I can't believe there's so much to fear
She wants to drown out all that she hears
So she ignores the words of an angel
That scream in her ears
The words of an angel
I'm beginning to believe
I begin to comprehend
You've built up the walls that block
The messages we send
So we've done all we can do
And we know this may not end
But someone is waiting here
To love you once again
Why do you run?
Why do you lie?
CHORUS
