why did i say it?
maybe i don't know
it's the echo of those same few words
i ran from long ago

i hope that you don't run from me
the way i ran from him
and i lied to you and said
that it came to me on a whim

but maybe, since the truth is
i'm trying harder to speak my mind
you'll understand it when i say
that those words were really mine
