Lyrics

CAN’T JUST STAND HERE

[Verse]

Just when I thought it was safe
Just when I let go
Here you are, here you are
Wouldn’t you know

Your mouth forms my name
I can hardly hear what you say
Grenades go off in slow motion
and I wanna run away

[Chorus]

I wanna run
So you won't hear
My heart breaking again
So you won't smell my fear

I wanna run
I can't just stand here
I wanna run
Gotta get out of here
Run, run, run
Put you back in my past
Run, run, run
And don't look back

[Verse 2]

I can't just stand here
I'm afraid you'll see
My heart pounding
My struggle to breathe

In my head I say I still love you
And you still feel like my man
Instead I mumble something like
"Nice to see you again"

[Bridge]

I can't look you in the eyes
I'm afraid I will melt
Afraid you'll see right through me
Afraid you can tell that

[Chorus]

I wanna run
So you won't hear
My heart breaking again
So you won't smell my fear

I wanna run
I just can't stand here
I wanna run
Gotta get out of here
Run, run, run
Put you back in my past
Run, run, run
And don't look back

[Verse 3]

Why am I still standing here
Why can't I say goodbye
Why do you smile that way at me
When all I wanna do is cry



My head says you gotta go now
Walk away, walk away
Before you say something stupid
And give yourself away

[PRE-CHORUS]
You shift your weight
Side-to-side
The tears I fight
Getting harder to hide

Chorus]
I wanna run
So you won't hear
My heart breaking again
So you won't smell my fear

I wanna run
I just can't stand here
I wanna run
Gotta get out of here
Run, run, run
Put you back in my past
Run, run, run
And don't look back

Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run

I can't just stand here
