[Verse 1]
Emelia
Tell me, what have you done?
Are you always runnin'
From the ones that you love?

[Verse 2]
Your toothbrush still sits
Right where you left it
You called it quits
And you walked out my door

[Chorus]
And why do you always run
When the goin' gets tough?

[Verse 3]
When you've lived with the devil
You pray there's a god
But you curse his name
When you find out there's not

[Verse 4]
Cause he takes what you love
And he throws it away
Think he gets off
When a grown man cries

[Chorus]
And why does he always run
When the goin' gets tough?
Goin' gets tough
