(Run Away from You)

We're sitting on the couch when I start to feel the urge

I try to put it out of my head

I fidget and I wring my hands, I feel my blood cells surge

I say, "Baby, let's go to bed"

I ignore the television as I wait for you to close your eyes

The moonlight taunts me and I try not to shake

With incredible precision, I don't disturb you as I rise

One last look to make sure you're not awake

And I wish that I had the strength to stay

And I wish that I had the guts to say

That now I have to run away from you

To do the things that werewolves do

But, baby girl, I promise you, it's true

I'll be back here in the morning

You will never be the wiser

No, this won't tear us apart

Girl, I swear with all my werewolf heart

Now I'm running rampant and I'm running out of breath

The transformation's instantaneous, I'm off committing my crimes

If you could see me, you'd be frightened half to death

Even if you knew the motions I was going through I'd done a thousand times

There are times, I don't feel as guilty as I should

The rush just feels so goddamn good

That I can't help but run away from you

To do the things that werewolves do

But, baby girl, I promise you, it's true

I'll be back here in the morning

I'll seem innocent as ever

No, you won't get torn apart

Girl, I swear with all my werewolf heart

Hide behind the bushes

Stay off the busy street

Don't deny your devil

Please try to be discreet

All the kids on corners

Know of your deep disgrace

Eyes are burning crazy

Don't let them see your face

Just ignore your conscience

The craving is so intense

Feed your filthy hunger

But clean up the evidence

The sun is quickly rising

My heart beats a rapid thud

Wash before returning

'Cause she knows the smell of blood

The sun has almost risen

Brain throbs inside my head

I'm a fucking fake

And I crawl back into bed

You stir a little bit and then I feel your touch

You look at me, I start to cry

You ask what's wrong, I say "It's just 'cause I love you so much"

But I think we both know that's a lie

I couldn't tell you, even if I had a voice

As much as it hurts, I know if given the choice

I'd still choose to run away from you

To do the things that werewolves do

The things my nature tells me to, it's true

I will do all that I can

To start acting like a man

And I don't know what to say

Except I'm sorry for the times I ran away

Except I'm sorry for the times I wasn't true

For what my werewolf heart is doing to you

For what my werewolf heart is doing to you

For what my werewolf heart is doing to you

For all that I have done to you, oh
