Why Did You Run?
Got the call on the streets of Seattle
She said, "Honey, I don't got much time to talk"
I broke down, cause I knew what was next
And she said
"I'm okay, but I'm locked in a holding cell
'Til someone gets me out
Can you help me? I have no one else"
So there I was, a defenseless middle kid
Crying out for the right words to say
"Sorry, I can't do anything at all"
So I hung up and called you
I hung up and called you
'Cause you were the one, oh
You were the one I needed
You were the one, oh
You were the one I needed
The most
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
So I took a stupid fight with him
After the accident
Funny now cause I thought it was your defense
'Cause I thought you were sober then
So there I was, a lost kid
Looking for a home that he once knew
So I broke down and called you
I broke down and called you
'Cause you were the one, oh
You were the one I needed
You were the one, oh
You were the one I needed
The most
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
I just want you to be happy
Want you to be happy
Why can't you be happy?
Why can't you be happy?
Why can't you be happy?
Just want you to be happy
Why can't you be happy
With us?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
She said, "Honey, I don't got much time to talk"
I broke down, cause I knew what was next
And she said
"I'm okay, but I'm locked in a holding cell
'Til someone gets me out
Can you help me? I have no one else"
So there I was, a defenseless middle kid
Crying out for the right words to say
"Sorry, I can't do anything at all"
So I hung up and called you
I hung up and called you
'Cause you were the one, oh
You were the one I needed
You were the one, oh
You were the one I needed
The most
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
So I took a stupid fight with him
After the accident
Funny now cause I thought it was your defense
'Cause I thought you were sober then
So there I was, a lost kid
Looking for a home that he once knew
So I broke down and called you
I broke down and called you
'Cause you were the one, oh
You were the one I needed
You were the one, oh
You were the one I needed
The most
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
I just want you to be happy
Want you to be happy
Why can't you be happy?
Why can't you be happy?
Why can't you be happy?
Just want you to be happy
Why can't you be happy
With us?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
