You were a light,
 a stroke of hope amongst the dark;
 you were the chance
 for me to open up my heart.
 Yet I saw you fly away from me
 and I didn't know how to keep you back.

 So close, so near,
 my every thought was filled with you;
 can't take the risk
 of loosing and not pulling through,
 so I pushed you away from me
 and I know you won't be coming back.

 My loneliness is wrapped in fear,
 it's taking the lead, so I'm gonna stay
 behind the comfort of a dream.
 I want to get near but, I gotta say
 it's so much easier to run away.

 I hurts to say
 I'm not as strong as I proclaim;
 I hied my grief
 But it will find me anyway,
 cuz I pushed you away from me
 and I know you won't be coming back.

 My loneliness is wrapped in fear,
 it's taking the lead, so I'm gonna stay
 behind the comfort of a dream.
 I want to get near but, I gotta say
 it's so much easier to run away.
