Runaway

from Mysterious Love by Jami Smith

/

lyrics

Open eyes, closed minds
Strong words, hard lines
Passive ears, desperate signs

It's not the first time

Hard questions, full of tears
Easy answers, not so near
Serenading your haunting fears

It's not the first time
It's not the first time

You had to go
You had to run away
Everyone was talking at you
No one could hear a word you'd say
You had to get away
You had to fly
High and so far away
From calculating eyes
All alone you muffled your cries

You can't see what you're hearing
You can't hear what you need
You only need to believe

It's not the first time

Others fail you, let you down
Weak reflections of what you've found
A clear picture is all you crave

It's not the first time
It's not the first time

(chorus)

God cries, be still I hear your heart
Don't go, I see shadows falling
Continue seeking me
If I didn't crave you
You couldn't crave me

You don't know if you can cry
You don't know if you've tried
Let him shoulder all your tears

It's not the first time
