[Verse 1]
I try to end the evening
It just gone 10 o’clock
You’re hiding from your lover
Cause he tried, big shock
And I mean no offence with
B-A-M
Business equals pleasure
And everyone knows you’re running out of time again

[Chorus]
Why’d you always run away?
Why’d you always run away?
Happiness is your charade
Happiness is hard to shake
I am not the one to blame
Why’d you always run away?

[Verse 2]
There has been much conjecture
A sense of urgency
When you’re passed out in the lecture
And everyone can see
And maybe that’s persistence in your eyes
But I’ll just keep my distance
Cause danger seems to follow you from about a step behind
[Chorus]
Why’d you always run away?
Why’d you always run away?
Happiness is your charade
Happiness is hard to shake
Are you fucking going insane?
Why’d you always run away?

[Bridge]
Why’d you always run away?
Why’d you always run away?
Happiness is your charade
Happiness is hard to shake
Are you fucking going insane?
Gone insane

[Verse 3]
I wish you’d gotten better
Or kept her for the night
What was written in the letter
What was made to take a life
I mean no offence with
B-A-M
But business equals pleasure
Everyone knows you’re running out of time again
[Chorus]
Why’d you always run away?
Why’d you always run away?
Happiness is your charade
Happiness is hard to shake
I am not the one to blame
Why’d you have run?
Why’d you have to run away
Why’d you have to run away?
Automatic self to blame
Put it on your wall of fame
Have you fucking gone insane?
Why’d you have to run away?
