Lyrics

ON THE RUN

(intro)
if i can't have you now
and you'd wish I'd believe
that there is no place
that you're going
but on the run

(chorus)
i've been trying all my life
i can't seem to get it right
but i don't want your
false sympathy

memories seem to fade
dreams gone by to yesterday
hopes and promises die as well
so move on to something
that'll last and try to forget
the unforgotten past

chorus

when you look at the stars
and you know who you are
and it's starting all over again the simple things
you forget the memory of
your soul has faded that
once we were friends

chorus

(outro)same as intro
