I Can't Run

from Tom Whall by Tom Whall

lyrics

I can't run if you just wanna stay.
Ain't no chance I'm gettin' over you that way.
You said you'd had enough, you wanna figure it out alone,
But you can't hold me close if I'm trying to let you go.

I grab my shoes and my guitar, that's all I want.
Keep the rest, I'm bettin' on a change of heart.
I'm not five steps out the door before you say my name,
I said I know it's hard, but this is what you wanted babe.

No more late nights to stay up dreamin',
Or phone calls just to hear you breathin'.
I know you need this and you really don't want this,
But if you don't let go, I can't run.

You'll hold your own, yeah I know you'll be just fine.
A little less me, a little more friends and white wine.
Please don't call me babe, if you're a couple of glasses in,
I'll only pick up if you really need me back again.

Since I've gone, things have been quiet around here,
Just me and the birds, until they disappear.
I know I did you right by leavin' you at the door,
But it wouldn't bother me if you held on for a little more.

I miss those late nights to stay up dreamin',
And those phone calls just to hear you breathin'.
I know you need this and I really don't want this,
But if I don't let go, you can't run.
And if you don't let go, I can't run.
