Hey you, don't you think you owe me more than that How can I convince you, when you turn your back that I'm not going to hurt, leave, or betray Hey you, what's this argument really about Are you terrified that we will not work out and determined to destroy it right away Well, no, there's no guarantee that the love we feel right now is meant to be but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy if you give up before it's underway Chorus: So don't just ru-u-u-n away Run away Don't just ru-u-u-n away Run away You haven't even heard what I'm going to say, please don't run away Don't just run away Sit down, start at the beginning with your fears How can I begin to ease them if I never hear your complicated history replayed Sit down, all you have to be is yourself If you don't like it here, we'll just go somewhere else I know this great little Italian place But you'll have to choose This is all a gamble and it's possible to lose But if you don't light the time bomb's multicolored fuse It'll tick on down to zero and seal our fate Chorus Bridge: I know you've got your instincts to obey I know you're screaming at you not to stay but if I were you, I'd think about the choice I'm gonna make Chorus
