Sometimes I feel I've got to run away. I got to get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me.
The love we share seems to go nowhere. And I've lost my light. I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Now I know I've got to run away. I got to get away, you don't really want any more from me.
To make things right you need someone to hold you tight.
And you think love is to pray. But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.
