Run

Her boyfriend beat her up again
She lost a tooth, but gained a stylish black eye
She tells her best friend
I know he loves me
And I still love him

Lost in a dream, the poor fool stands still
When there's a door, that she could walk through
And wave goodbye
But she won't move
And then it's too late

Why is it easier to walk than to run?
Why when it's darkest can't you reach for the light?
Why when a way out is within you site?
Why is it easier to walk than to run?

He roams the streets where his brother was killed
Stays though the train rides to somewhere out there
But this is home
Invisible strings
Seem to bind him

Father with fists, beat him senseless for years
Now, turn a page, he will defend family
Because this is home
And the only world
He's ever known

Why is it easier to walk than to run?
Why when it's darkest can't you reach for the light?
Why when a way out is within you site?
Why is it easier to walk than to run?
