Run


Simple life is written like a fairy tale

But I’ve got things to do and places to see

Not thinking of the long white dress and veil

As everyone falls to Life’s routine

I dream where my next adventure will be

Reaching far beyond the gold horizon

Hoping my friends won’t forget me

Because I will defy expectation

For the sake of chasing my ambition

 

Though it may be painful to let you go

We know I’ll leave without hesitation

But it hurts more to watch you love me so

How do you convince a flight risk to stay

When all I know is how to run away?
