I didn't think I wanted you
Didn't think I needed to
What makes me hold back,
What makes me afraid--
I might fall for you--
And then what would I do,
If one day I wake
To find without you
I can't make it through
If you didn't fall too?
Run away
Run away
Then I don't have to stay
If you will go
I never have to know
What might not have been
And if we see each other again,
If I smile and ask you in--
Just to catch up on old times--
We'll talk, and when we part
We'll feel a little sad
As if there might have been
Something there
That we missed
We'll kiss and say goodbye
Even if
I want to cry
I'll smile and wave
Act like I'm brave
And never know
If what I want to have
Left with you
Run away
Run away
Then I don't have to stay
If you will go
I never have to know
What might not have been
I didn't think I wanted you
Didn't think I needed to
I let you go
And I can't know
If I had it all
And set it free
Now it's too late
To ask you to wait
I blow a kiss
Hoping that you will see
Just one more time
I would try
If I thought
You might want me too
But my heart
Keeps me
From saying
What I feel inside
I can't tell you
What I want to
And you
Go on walking away
I can't say
Wait for me
Anyway, if you did stay
I'm not sure that I can
Run away
Run away
Then I don't have to stay
If you will go
I never have to know
What might not have been
