From the first time
I watched you
Walk away from me.

To the last time
I could feel you
Next to me.

You had love
For leaving things
Undone.

Like a fire,
In the summer sun,
You took the best of me.

I wish I knew
What I know today
You can't give hope
To a runaway.
It's further, honey,
Not closer,
Comin'.
And,
You're getting further
Every day.

On the side
Of the road
You made a getaway.

The devil slows down,
To let you in,
Met with a devil's grin.

Chin held high,
Sweet lies, disguised
To make it
Easier for you,
To do what
You feel you
Have to do
