Not From You


Take away

These tired legs

They don't want to run again

But I feel it

An itch

Then take away this tired heart

It doesn't want any of this

If it can't have you

I don't know where to go

And I'm running

Always in circles

And I don't want to run away

Not from you

Not this time around

 

So keep giving me reasons

To stand still

Tell me why

A million times

Until it's just words

Tell me again and again

Why I should stay here

WIth you

The way it is

Even when the sky

Feels like it's crashing on us

Tell me you need me

And tell me

You want me

Forever

Make it feel like it never did

Just give me a reason

To stand still

Because I don't want to run

Not from you

Never from you
