You were a light, a stroke of hope amongst the dark; You were the chance for me to open up my heart Yet I saw you fly away from me and I didn't know how to keep you back So close, so near, my every thought was filled with you; Can't take the risk of loosing and not pulling through So I pushed you away from me and I know you won't be coming back My loneliness is wrapped in fear It's taking the lead, so I'm gonna stay behind the comfort of a dream I want to get near, but I gotta say it's so much easier to run away It hurts to say I'm not as strong as I proclaim; I hide my grief but it will find me anyway 'cause I pushed you away from me and I know you won't be coming back My loneliness is wrapped in fear It's taking the lead, so I'm gonna stay behind the comfort of a dream I want to get near, but I gotta say It's so much easier to run away
