Lyrics
You run away, you could turn and stay
But you run away from me
I tried to be your brother
You cried and ran for cover
I made a mess, who doesn't?
I did my best but it wasn't enough
You run away, you could turn and stay
But you run away from me
You run away, you could turn and stay
But you run away from me
I'll give you something you can cry about
One thing you should try it out
Hold a mirror shoulder high
When you're older look you in the eye
When you're older look you in the eye
I tried but you tried harder
I lied but you lied smarter
You made me guess, who was it?
I did my best but it wasn't enough, ooh
You run away, you could turn and stay
But you run away from me
You run away
(I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay
(You cried and ran for cover)
But you run away from me
(I made a mess, who doesn't?)
(I did my best but it wasn't enough)
That's not something to cry about
It's not something to lie about, ooh
You run away
(I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay
(You cried and ran for cover)
But you run away from me
(I made a mess, who doesn't?)
(I did my best but it wasn't enough)
