She needed shelter from the rain
She saw it on the sign
It said we're open till midnight
I'm sorry 'bout the wait
I came here just the other day
And you look so familiar
And maybe you and I can have a drink and start the night
With some friendly conversation

Can you and I be truthful now?
What you runnin away from?
And then you numb the pain to make it through somehow
What you runnin away from?
What you runnin away from?

She woke up before AM
To smoke a cigarette again
And she stood in the doorway
She said I love to watch you sleep
And hear the secrets that you keep
And remember what my father told me

He said stay strong and don't forget to call
But don't ever come back at all

Can you and I be truthful now?
What you runnin away from?
And then you numb the pain to make it through somehow
What you runnin away from?
What you runnin away from?

Things don't turn out quite the way we planned them
Didn't you even try,
When you knew something steered you wrong again?
When did you decide
You don't belong here
You don't belong

Can you and I be truthful now?
What you runnin away from?
And then you numb the pain to make it through somehow
What you runnin away from?
What you runnin away from?

Can you and I be truthful now?
What you runnin away from?
And then you numb the pain to make it through somehow
What you runnin away from?
What you runnin away from?

I'm just a runaway
I seek the end you follow
I cannot think today
What you runnin away from?
I'm just a runaway
I seek the end you follow
I cannot think today
I'm just an empty shell
