i can't stand the look you write on your face
when he's got his back turned
"girl, i'd give you the world"
and i know you don't think that i could stand in his place
but i'd treat you much better
i lied in that letter

and all the bridges that you burn
i would build you new ones
i swear i'd make it worth all the pain
if you'd stay
please don't run

and i'm sorry that i told you about the all the others
the ones i laid next to
whose only fault were they weren't you
but he's holding you now under my covers
on the last of our autumn nights
you whisper that we're gonna be alright

but all the bridges that you've burnt
i have built you new ones
i swore i'd make it worth
all the pain
if you'd just stay
but you run, you run

and i don't blame you
i do it too
girl, i don't blame you
i do it too

i run, i run
and you run, you run

don't run
