So you ran
Took the heart of a lonely man

Woke up this morning and you were gone
Found your note by the telephone
You said "Goodbye I won't be back this way"

I guess in time I'll figure it out
The flame burnin' flickered out
You fade away as you turn down the highway

Chorus:
So you ran (you keep on runnin')
Took the heart of a lonely man
I hoped you would stay
But now you've run away

Seemed like I never got a hold on you
The harder I tried the more desperate I grew
I should've known that I couldn't change a heart

You once said that you need to feel free
Oh baby, could've been with me
You fade away like the sun turning to darkness

[Chorus:]

Given time we might find a way
Love is more than just day to day

Why

So you ran
So you ran
So you ran

Baby I wonder who you're with tonight
Can he save ya from the sacrifice

Will he love you
Hold you for another day
Or is it just a stop on a lonely highway

Baby

[Chorus:]
