[Verse 1]
4 AM, blank TV screen
Inside voice, the need to scream
The boards they creak, the wood it moans
If these walls could share the things they know
Oh, I had to let you go
Leave you alone, this broken home

[Chorus]
You gave us so much
You believed in us and we broke your trust
We made for the coast
And in the wrong hands, you were bruised, disposed
Oh, please try and understand
It was young love learning its place
Running away

[Verse 2]
Goodnight moon, goodnight Earth
This picture screams a thousand words
This portrait shows an unhappy man
Who did all he could, all he can

[Chorus]
You gave us so much
You believed in us and we broke your trust
We made for the coast
And in the wrong hands, you were bruised, disposed
Oh, please try and understand
It was young love learning its place
Running away, away
[Outro]
Running away, away
Running away, away
Running away
