She Runs Away
You may not see the end of it
but luckily she comes around
It isn't what she talks about
Just the way she is
She says: oooh darlin' don't ya know
The darkness comes and the darkness goes
She says: oooh babe why don't you let it go
Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so
I mystifed the simple life,
I covered up the consciousness
I saw myself broken down till nothing more was left
She saw the symptoms right away
And spoke to me in poetry
Sometimes the more you wonder why, the worse it seems to get
She says: oooh darlin' don't ya know
The darkness comes and the darkness goes
She says: oooh babe why don't you let it go
Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so
She runs away...
She runs away...
Then you know there comes a time
You need her more than anything
You may believe yours are the wounds that only she can heal.
Everything will turn around
She becomes so serious
What she chose to offer you, is all that you can have
She says: oooh darlin' don't ya know
The darkness comes and the darkness goes
She says: oooh babe why don't you let it go
Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so
She runs away...
She runs away...
She runs away...
