You feel so cold inside, hurt and let down,
you think your tears fall without a sound.
I search for your heart behind your plastic smile
but you're running, eluding my gaze all the while.
I know sometimes living seems harder than dying
but lately you haven't even felt like trying.
You gave your heart away, someone never gave it back,
so you wander wounded seeking the love that you lack.
You say "I'm never gonna love again, never open up my heart"
as the bitterness and loneliness inside tear you apart.
Is the pain you're running from worse that the pain you're running to?
If you numb your soul to all the hurt you'll lose the heart inside of you.

Chorus
Run Away, Run Away - don't hide in the darkness.
Run Away, Run Away - God's reaching out to you.
Run Away, Run Away - you don't have to be so lonely,
there's people here who love you - my Run Away it's true.
Run Away you run, you hide inside your lair
but you can never run away from God's love for you, His care.
oh my Run Away, Run Away, you can hide inside your lair
but you can never run away from God's love for you, His care.

When someone you love leaves you, it's hard to move on,
but you can't lock up your feelings when they're gone.
Chaining your soul to the sea of your tears,
hardening your heart with all of your fears.
Friend, I know that love is costly, look what it cost Jesus,
in spite of all the pain, love is the only path that frees us.
Jesus is here, holding you with arms unseen,
lay your burdens at His feet, on His shoulder lean.
And me?  I reach for you as you turn to run away,
my fingers close on cold, dry air, all that I can do is pray.
I'd put my arms around you but you'd turn and run away,
won't you please stop running?  Friend I'm asking you to stay.

Bridge
There's no where you can run, no where you can hide
that the Spirit of the living God does not abide.
There's nothing we can do, no matter what we've done
that will separate us from the love of God's Son.
We weren't meant to live alone, we need the Father's love and care,
to know that when we need someone, someone will be there.
How do I know?  I was a run away too.
But Jesus brought me home - it's true.
