Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Remember make believe in you
All the things I said I'd do
I wouldn't hurt you like the world did me
Keep you safe, I'd keep you sweet
Everything that I went through
I'm grateful you won't have to do
I know that you will have to fall
I can't hide you from it all
But take the best of what I've got
And then you know no matter what
Before you walk away
You know you can
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, back to my arms
Run, run, run
Back to my arms
And they will hold you down (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
They will hold you down (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
See, here's the bloody, bloody truth
You will hurt and you will lose
I've got scars you won't believe
Wear them proudly on my sleeve
I hope you'll have the sense to know
That sadness comes and sadness goes
Love so hard and play life loud
It's the only to give a damn about
But take the best of what I've got
And then you know no matter what
Before you walk away
You know you can
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, back to my arms
Run, run, run
Back to my arms
And they will hold you down
All this time, I swear I'm never wasting
All your smiles, I'm always gonna save this (they will hold you down)
Put it in the back of my mind
Whenever I'm away from you (they will hold you down)
All this time, I swear I'm never wasting
All your smiles, I'm always gonna save this (they will hold you down)
Put it in the back of my mind
Whenever I'm away from you
Run, run, run
Back to your arms
Back to your arms
Run, run, run
Back to your arms
And they will hold you
Run, run, run
Back to my arms
Back to my arms
Run (all this time I swear I'm never wasting)
Run (all your smiles I'm always gonna save this)
Run (put it in the back of my mind)
Back to your arms
And they will hold you down (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
They will hold you down (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Run
