Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

I had so many things to say,
But it didn't work out that way,
So please won't you stay,
Just another day.

Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

I acted like a fool,
And I broke the golden rule,
She was nothing to me,
Now I can see,
You are my destiny.

Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

I had so many things to say,
You had your chance to make it,
But it didn't work out that way,
Instead you chose to fake it

Don't run away, don't run away,
No you know the rule
Don't run away, don't run away,
And still you broke it,
Don't, don't,don't ...
And still you broke it,
Don't, don't,don't ...

Maybe I'll forgive but I won't forget,
Won't live no lie that I'll regret,
Say I'm leaving.
Don't don't don't ...
Say I'm leaving.
Don't don't don't ...

Don't run away, don't run away,
Don't run away, don't leave me, no.

Don't, don't,don't ...
You don't know what's good for you
There's no other way
Don't, don't,don't ...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
You know the rule,
And still you break it.

Don't run away,
Don't run away,
Don't leave me, no.

You want to treat this love I share with you,
Like some cheap trinket,
See baby you don't know what's good for you,
And I don't have the time to take it.

Don't run away,
Don't run away, no,

Maybe I'll forgive but I won't forget,
I won't live no lie wake up to love,
That I'm going to regret.

Don't run away, don't run away.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
You know the rule,
And still you broke it,
And still you broke it.
