"Running Away" as written by and Douglas Sean/estrin Robb....
I don't want you to give it all up
And leave your own life collecting dust
And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
And tell me that everything's all right
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
I did enough to show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
And when I get close you turn away,
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that I can do
Is it a waste of time?
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
(what is it I have to say?)
So why are you running away?
(to make you admit you're afraid)
Why are you running away?
And leave your own life collecting dust
And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
And tell me that everything's all right
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
I did enough to show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
And when I get close you turn away,
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that I can do
Is it a waste of time?
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
(what is it I have to say?)
So why are you running away?
(to make you admit you're afraid)
Why are you running away?

ok im done :)
Anyway, about a month later she broke up with me and refused to give me a reason why. She just ran away and refused to have anything to do with me. It turns out she left me to become a completely different person than she had been...and not in a good way. Yet, despite all I had done for her, she couldn't tell me the truth, even though she knew it tore me apart to not have a reason for the breakup. This song summed up my feelings perfectly because it so accurately describes the feeling of pain, betrayal, and the desire of truth. That pain kinda never goes away...
But hey, that's life for you. The strongest person isn't the person who never gets hurt; it's the person who can come back from unbearable pain and be better than they were before it.
