    Though I tried so hard to stay, you were begging me to go
    With every look at me, and every second that you spoke
    I could see it in your movements
    And you hid yourself from me
    Telling me you’ve found your way
    And you are setting me free

    Did it ever cross you that I don’t want to go, that I found a place for me
    Was it a coincidence that I wanted to stay, far from where I was free
    We’ve been to the edge of the world together
    Far past the sunburnt horizons
    But you have decided to push me off
    Using your vocal poisons

    Running once I caught my balance, desperate to hide
    Trying hard not to be seen, I’m sorry that I lied
    In the beginning it was all love
    And then it turned to hate
    Last night, I drove and drove
    Wishing it was too late

    I could walk into a bar, and they would gasp and call my name
    I guess it’s just the price to pay, for destroying, I get fame
    For running, I don’t know the price
    I guess I’ll have to pay
    I’m not sure if you’ll try to follow
    Perhaps you will someday

    I know that I will not return, I’ve gone too far to turn
    I know that you never really cared, not enough to learn
    That I’ll be happy when I can
    And love whom I want
    When troubles came, I always ran
    And from a distance, taunt

    I know I lost love long ago, but when I have the chance
    I’ll look for him, I’ll search the globe, I’ll dig with my very hands
    With no one behind, and no one ahead
    I’m alone on all fronts
    With no one to the right, and no one to the left
    I’ve nothing to do but run

    If you ask me to return, I might consider the option
    But the tables turn towards a new life, in another direction
    However, when I asked for help
    You turned, and laughed at me
    You said that I was the Chosen One
    Perhaps I shouldn’t be

    When the end of the world had past, you said we’d be happy in Rome
    Maybe, to you it would seem, but our house was not a home
    Am I that unimportant?
    Did you never really care?
    How could you just send me away
    And pretend I was never there

    I gave my life to save yours, and the others I protected
    I don’t understand how you change your mind, to the other you selected
    She can protect you
    If it’s what you really want
    If I’m finally free to go
    I can do what I really want

    And now, my friends, it’s time to go, I hope I will be missed
    I will run, but not alone, by fate I have been kissed
    I will hide, and he will follow
    Wherever I will roam
    Remember this, I love you too
    But our house was not a home





    Thanks for taking the time to read this, originally I wrote this as an accompaniment to a fanfiction I wrote earlier, becase of a lyrics ban on the fanfic site, but I decided to post it here as well. R&R.
    Cheers.

    Thanks for replying, it seems that nobody is taking the time to even think of replying here, all the attention goes elsewhere.

    Um, I suppose there is pain in it, but I didn't mean most of it to be mine, only select parts are true, very few, though. Like I said, I wrote this as an accompaniment to a fanfiction, and solely for that. If you want to see the fic, then email me, but that was the only reason I wrote this, as on the site where I post my fanfiction, there is a lyrics ban, so you have to write your own.

    Thanks, I thought I'd try another rhyme scheme with this one, and though I didn't really expect it to turn out like this, or that people would actually like it, I'm happy that people like my work.
