There's a man out there
and there is a woman out there
their entire lives
have been leading to this moment
connected since birth
two paper dolls holding hands
but there is a man out there
who is afraid
who believes
he can't give you
everything you deserve
who believes
he will hurt you
and maybe he's a child
who never understood
why his parents
just couldn't figure it out
and everybody always tells him
"You look just like your father"
but he won't be him
so he runs
and doesn't look back
leaving her is better than
destroying her
and she calls to him
"Run away little boy!
I just wanted to
help you understand"
