You were a light,
A stroke of hope among 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.
[Chorus:]
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,
Cuz I pushed you away from me
And I know you won't be coming back.
[Chorus: 2x]
