So you ran
Took the heart of a lonely man

Woke up this morning and you were gone
Found your note by the telephone
You said "Goodbye I won't be back this way"

I guess in time I'll figure it out
The flame burnin' flickered out
You fade away as you turn down the highway

Chorus:
So you ran (you keep on runnin')
Took the heart of a lonely man
I hoped you would stay
But now you've run away

Seemed like I never got a hold on you
The harder I tried the more desperate I grew
I should've known that I couldn't change a heart

You once said that you need to feel free
Oh baby, could've been with me
You fade away like the sun turning to darkness

(Chorus)

Given time we might find a way
Love is more than just day to day

Why

So you ran
So you ran
So you ran

Baby I wonder who you're with tonight
Can he save ya from the sacrifice

Will he love you
Hold you for another day
Or is it just a stop on a lonely highway

Baby

(Chorus)
