Barenaked Ladies - You Run Away lyrics

You run away You could turn and stay But you run away from me. I tried to be your brother You cried and ran for cover I made a mess, who doesn't I did my best but it wasn't enough You run away You turn and stay But you run away from me. You run away You could turn and stay But you run away from me. I'll give you something you can cry about One thing you should try it out Hold a mirror shoulder high When you're older look you in the eye When you're older look you in the eye I tried but you tried harder I lied but you lied smarter You made me guess who was it I did my best but it wasn't enough You run away You could turn and stay But you run away from me You run away (I tried to be your brother) You could turn and stay (You cried and ran for cover) But you run away from me (I made a mess, who doesn't, I did my best but it wasn't enough) It's not something you cry about (Cry!) It's not something you lie about You run away (I tried to be your brother) You could turn and stay (You cried and ran for cover) But you run away from me (I made a mess, who doesn't, I did my best but it wasn't enough)
