See me run, run I'm chasing my words through the floor See me run, run I'm turning my back to the door See me run, run to lose you Can't afford to abuse you No, not at all It's so cold and it's raining I'm wondering what to say It's hard to be kind The lady in waiting Has made me so aware I'm running out of time See me run, run I'm chasing my words through the floor See me run, run I'm turning my back to the door See me run, run to lose you Can't afford to abuse you No, not at all It's so hard giving answers When all you've ever known Is to question why The lady in waiting Is waiting all alone And needs a reply She says her love will last A thousand years But will it stand the strain Of all my fears How can she know And so she patiently Awaits a sign But if I don't comply Will I be lost In this world of mine See me run, run I'm chasing my words through the floor See me run, run I'm turning my back to the door See me run, run to lose you Can't afford to abuse you No, not at all
