 2x
 Suddenly I can't  stay in this room.
  You'll never sway,  and I have nothing left  that I can think  of to say.
 What do you want me to  think of my thought?
  Bear it in mind,  if I cannot believe  in me who will I then  be?
 And so I'll run but not too far,
  In case you...  chase.....  me, oh.................
 But this  is how.. it  goes....., ba  - by.
 I'll get angry  at your words  and I'll go home
 And you  won't call  af - ter...  me...,  yeah
 Cos I'll be back  before  you.. know,  you know...whoa
 2x
 So give me a tooth  full of that smile,
  And know-it-all eyes  you show me
  Just to prove  that you don't need to lose  it.
  You  tell me I'm your fortress  of desire
  But is it a crime  for me to say my own  view
  And want then not to fear  you?
 And so I'll run but not too  far,
  In case you...  chase.....  me, oh.................
 But this  is how.. it  goes....., ba  - by.
 I'll get angry  at your words  and I'll go home
 And you  won't call  af - ter...  me...,  yeah
 Cos I'll be back  before you..  know,  you know.
 Yeah I'll be back  before  you.. know.
  La di da di dah  La di da di da  di La di da di dah  La di da di da
 La di da di dah  La di da di da  di La di da di dah  Oh...
 La di da di dah  La di da di da  di La di da di dah
 And so I'll run but not too far...
 But this  is how.. it  goes....., ba  - by.
 I'll get angry  at your words  and I'll go home
 And you  won't call  af - ter...  me...,  yeah
 Cos I'll be back  before  you.. know,  you know.
 Yeah I'll be back  before you.. know.
 And so I'll run but not too far...
