It's hard for you seeing things the way you do
When you gave up that way I knew
You might get hurt againI ran when the police tried to contact me
I ran, I was so much afraid
I ran, till my legs buckled under me
I ran, but I wish that I'd stayedWhen I agreed to leave
I didn't think you had to give
Another demonstration like you did
And hurt yourself againI ran when the police tried to contact me
I ran, I was so much afraid
I ran, till my legs buckled under me
I ran, but I wish that I'd stayedAnd now you're lying injured in your bed
I feel responsible for what you did
I sometimes wish that it was me instead of youI want to say I'm sorry that I couldn't stay
Although I let you down today
You won't get hurt againI ran when the police tried to contact me
I ran, I was so much afraid
I ran, till my legs buckled under me
I ran, but I wish that I'd stayed
