I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
Oh, a girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

Chorus:
I wanna run to you, oo
I wanna run to you, oo
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you, oo (I'll run to you, oo)
But if I come to you, oo
Tell me will you stay
Or will you run away?

Verse 2:
Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night, I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
Oh what's the sense
Of trying hard to find your dreams?
Without someone to share them with
Tell me, what does it mean?

I wanna run to you, oo
I wanna run to you, oo
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you, oo (I'll run to you, oo)
But if I come to you, oo
Tell me will you stay
Or will you run away?

Bridge:
Run away
No, I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
No, if you only know how much
