Judah & the Lion - Why Did You Run?

[Verse 1]

Got the call on the streets of Seattle

She said, "Honey, I don't got much time to talk"

I broke down 'cause I knew what was next

And she said, "I'm okay, but I'm locked in a holding cell

'Til someone gets me out

Can you help me? I have no one else"

So there I was, a defenseless middle kid

Crying out for the right words to say

Sorry, I can't do anything at all

So I hung up and called you

I hung up and called you

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you were the one, oh

You were the one I needed

You were the one, oh

You were the one I needed the most

[Chorus]

Why, why did you run?

Why, why did you run?

Why, why did you run? Oh

[Verse 2]

So I took a stupid fight with him after the accident

Funny now 'cause I thought it was your defense

'Cause I thought you were sober then

So there I was, a lost kid looking for a home that he once knew

So I broke down and called you

I broke down and called you

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause you were the one, oh

You were the one I needed

You were the one, oh

You were the one I needed the most

[Chorus]

Why, why did you run?

Why, why did you run?

Why, why did you run? Oh

[Bridge]

I just want you to be happy

Want you to be happy

Why can't you be happy?

Why can't you be happy?

Why can't you be happy?

Just want you to be happy

Why can't you be happy with us?

[Chorus]

Why, why did you run?

Why, why did you run?

Why, why did you run?

Why, why did you run? (Oh)

Why, why did you run? (Oh)

Why, why did you run?

Why, why did you run? Oh
