Verse 1
I SAW YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE TONIGHT
AND SOMETHING INSIDE BROUGHT ME BACK
TO THE PAIN OF LOSING YOU
AND KNOWING THAT WE WERE THROUGH/
I SUPPORTED YOU AND I CHEERED YOU ON
ONLY TO HAVE YOU WALK AWAY
IF THIS IS SOME KIND OF MYSTERY
WHAT PART DO I PLAY?

CHORUS:
‘CAUSE, YOU RAN AWAY
YOU RAN AWAY
YOU JUST COULDN’T SEE
STAYING WITH ME
SO, HONEY, YOU RAN AWAY/

Verse 2
WHEN YOUR LOVING TURNS TO A LOSING GAME
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE ONE MORE CHANCE
BUT, WHEN LOVE IS GONE, IT’S GONE
WHAT’S DONE IS DONE/
I HAVE FACED REALITY
THAT LOVE SCARES YOU AND ME
BUT AFRAID OF LOSING AGAIN
IT’S SO MUCH EASIER JUST BEING FREE/

CHORUS:
SO, YOU RAN AWAY
YOU RAN AWAY
YOU JUST COULDN’T SEE
STAYING WITH ME
SO, HONEY, YOU RAN AWAY/

Bridge:
WHEN YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T LOVE ME ANYMORE
IT WAS SAYING THAT I COULDN’T COME HOME TO YOU
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS LOVE
WHO TURNED AROUND AND LEFT ME ALONE/

Chorus:
WHEN, YOU RAN AWAY
YOU RAN AWAY
YOU JUST COULDN’T SEE
STAYING WITH ME
SO, HONEY, YOU RAN AWAY/
Baby, you ran away
