She smiled as a tear ran down her cheek
She left for Chicago before we got a chance to speak
Im left here to carry on alone
Twenty-four seven spent here waiting by the phone.

Im lost in my thoughts at night
dream of her and others in my time

just like that she walked away
running from mistakes i made
All i ask of her
please grant me a second chance
this time i will make it last
just dont runaway.

Runaway
Runaway

shes patient at the best of times
always first to call the shots, first to draw the line
but when i told her what id done
everything just fell apart she felt forced to run

Im lost in my thoughts at night
dream of her and others in my time

just like that she walked away
running from mistakes i made
All i ask of her
please grant me a second chance
this time i will make it last
just dont runaway.

if i could hold your hand right now
you know i would
if i could talk to you right now
you know i would

please write to me and let me know
how things are treating you
i promise to write back
and let you know how bad i feel.

Im lost in my thoughts at night
dream of her and others in my time

just like that she walked away
running from mistakes i made
All i ask of her
please grant me a second chance
this time i will make it last
just dont runaway

runaway...
runaway...
runaway...
runaway...
