[VERSE 1]
You gave me every reason for me to leave you
But I stood and said, "It's okay, he doesn't mean to."
And some days you were funny and others you were kind
But the rest of your days, you threw your words like knives (like knives)
And each one hit with the sharpest pain
And it was years ago, but the scars remain and
[Chorus]
And ooh, I should have run
But I stayed, 'cause you made me believe it was love
I was naïve, and you knew it babe
I couldn't breathe; we were suffocating
But ooh, I should have run
When I saw you coming
[VERSE 2]
Some days I would get up the courage to go
But you reel me back in, saying, "You'll be alone." (be alone)
You'd give me a kiss and then hit the wall
And every move every day, you made me feel so small (so small)
And each time I broke a little more
And it's taken me years to repair it all
[Chorus]
But ooh, I should have run
But I stayed, 'cause you made me believe it was love
I was naïve, and you knew it babe
I couldn't breathe; we were suffocating
But ooh, I should have run
When I saw you coming (ooh)
Should have run, should have run, should have run, should have run
Ooh, I should have run
But I stayed, 'cause you made me believe it was love
I was naïve, and you knew it babe
I couldn't breathe; we were suffocating
But ooh, I should have run
When I saw you coming
When I saw you coming
You gave me every reason for me to leave you
But I stood and said, "It's okay, he doesn't mean to."
And some days you were funny and others you were kind
But the rest of your days, you threw your words like knives (like knives)
And each one hit with the sharpest pain
And it was years ago, but the scars remain and
[Chorus]
And ooh, I should have run
But I stayed, 'cause you made me believe it was love
I was naïve, and you knew it babe
I couldn't breathe; we were suffocating
But ooh, I should have run
When I saw you coming
[VERSE 2]
Some days I would get up the courage to go
But you reel me back in, saying, "You'll be alone." (be alone)
You'd give me a kiss and then hit the wall
And every move every day, you made me feel so small (so small)
And each time I broke a little more
And it's taken me years to repair it all
[Chorus]
But ooh, I should have run
But I stayed, 'cause you made me believe it was love
I was naïve, and you knew it babe
I couldn't breathe; we were suffocating
But ooh, I should have run
When I saw you coming (ooh)
Should have run, should have run, should have run, should have run
Ooh, I should have run
But I stayed, 'cause you made me believe it was love
I was naïve, and you knew it babe
I couldn't breathe; we were suffocating
But ooh, I should have run
When I saw you coming
When I saw you coming
