Alright, I talked to mother just today
She told me daddy walked away
Now everything's about to change
Oh, I sought for words, I could not find
Thousand questions filled my mind
How could you throw it all away?
My heart is left without a home
But I won't let it turn to stone
There's got to be another way
Ooh, 'cause I can't take this pain
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do people run away
Can we try, try to find
Try to find the will to stay
A beating heart, a tender kiss
Love is so much more than this
Always givin' in and never givin' up
I know the man I want to be
I've seen enough of misery
It's time for me to break free, yeah
Doubt may whisper in my ear
But I will love in spite of fear
With everything inside of me, yeah
Tell me, is it just a dream
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do people run away
Can we try, try to find
Try to find the will to stay
I'm finally finding my way back to love
My way back to love again
Oh, I'm finally finding my way back to love
My way back to love again
Doubt may whisper in my ear
That I will love in spite of fear
With everything inside of me
Oh, does anyone believe
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do people run away
Can we try, try to find
Tell me why we run away
'Cause every time you run
Every time you run away
Can we try, can we try, try, try, try
You don't have to run
You don't have to run away, oh
