Here is my version of the song, you'll especially see some different lines in the chorus:
She needed shelter from the rain
She saw it on the sign
It said 'We're open till midnight'
I'm sorry by the way
I came here just the other day
And you look so familiar
And maybe you and I
Can have a drink and start the night
With a friendly conversation (you know)
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you ran away from?
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
She woke up at 4AM
To smoke a cigarette again
And she stood in the doorway
She said: "I love to watch you sleep
Then hear the secrets that you keep
And remember what my father told me.
He said stay strong and don't forget to call
But don't ever come back at all!"
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you ran away from?
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
What you ran away from?
Things don't turn out quite the way we planned
Didn't you even try?
When you knew something steered you wrong again
When did you decide?
You don't belong here
You don't belong (No!)
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you ran away from?
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
(What you ran away from?)
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you ran away from?
And then you numb the pain
To make it through somehow
What you ran away from?
(What you ran away from?)
I'm just a runaway
I seek still you follow
I cannot think today
What you ran away from?
I'm just a runaway
I seek the end you follow
I cannot think today
I'm just a empty shell
