Why Did You Run? - BRKLYN

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

Till 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

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 in 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
