Run Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
[Chorus]
Light up, light up, as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder louder, and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
[Verse 2]
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
[Chorus]
Light up, light up, as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder louder, and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
[Chorus]
Light up, light up, as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder louder, and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
[Verse 2]
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
[Chorus]
Light up, light up, as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder louder, and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
[Chorus]
Light up, light up, as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder louder, and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Light up, light up, as if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder louder, and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
