Lyrics
DON'T RUN AWAY
Written by Craig Raymo, Toni Bua and Brandon Jarrett
Performed by Neenah Taylor
Verse 1
Tried so hard to be the girl together- in control.
Walked the walk all by myself to play a Winners role.
Everyday was planned out, as it was the day before
Until the unexpected came on dancin' through my door.
Pre-chorus
Like an arrow through my heart
You turned my world around forever.
I feel like we can fly!
So beautiful... everywhere together.
Just when I left all behind
Have you gone and changed your mind?
Chorus
Don't run away from me this day.
It's time for you to face your fears.
Come over here and dry my tears.
Don't run away from me today.
Why don't you just be a man!
Take my hand now
Don't run away.
Verse 2
Met them all but nobody could take my breath away
Then there you were so suddenly- forever and a day.
You're the boy I prayed for, and this journey that we're on...
You and me eternally, two flames that burn as One....
Pre-chorus 2
Like an arrow through my heart
You set my world on fire baby.
I'm breakin' when we're apart.
Incredible, that's what you are baby.
Turn around just where you are
Don't let me be your falling star!
Chorus 2
Don't run away from me this day.
It's time for you to face your fears.
Come over here and dry my tears.
Don't run away from me today.
Why don't you just be my man!
Take my hand now
Don't run away.
Bridge
LOVE... could be nice and breezy
LOVE... could be real easy
If we just let go.
Look into my eyes... Take a leap of faith tonight.
Chorus 3
