I know that when you look at me
That's how much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find

Oh, a girl is scared sometimes, isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me? I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you, you
I wanna run to you, you
Won't you hold me in your arms and keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you, you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away?

Each day, each day I play the role
At someone, always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me

Oh, what's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share them with?
Tell me what does it mean

I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't you hold me in your arms and keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you, you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away?
Run away, no, no
I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
And kiss away my fears
If you'd only knew how much I want you

I wanna run to you, you
I wanna run to you, you
Won't you hold me in your arms and keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you, you
And if I catch you, you
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away?
