What if I was wrong, and jumped to conclusions
Cause the chance of losing you was all too dangerous
So I just assume that you're doing things before you get the chance
So I can leave and feel like I've got the upper hand
Guilty yeah, maybe I'm just scared to go all in
Never was much for the life of gambling
But you can't win if you don't play
If you don't play there's no shame in us
Let's call a spade a spadeI said I wouldn't let you down
But it's like we both have changed somehow
You've made a disease of this town
And you act like you don't care but you leftYour tears on the runway
You think you're running away
And you're leaving all your troubles behind
But I'm not going with you this time
I don't wanna try to pretend I'm somebody else
Take me as I am or be left alone
Tears on the runway, runaway
You know that you love the chase
Oh yeah, baby love
With your tears on the runwayThis thing with us is flying south if you know what I mean
But I'm trying my best to keep you right here in my city
A wise woman said, I wish people weren't afraid of love
Then she packed her shit and she ran
Like a coward when the thunder struckThings aren't always picture perfect
But picture us on top cause we're worth it
Or go and get your ticket, and grab your sweater
I used to live for the chase but now I know betterTears on the runway
You think you're running away
And you're leaving all your troubles behind
But I'm not going with you this time
I don't wanna try and pretend I'm somebody else
Take me as I am or be left alone
Tears on the runway, runaway
You know that you love the chaseI love the chase, you know that I love the chase
