I wanna leave you
I wanna lose us
I wanna give up
But I won’t

I wanna miss this
I want a heartache
I wanna run away
But I won’t

‘Cause do I love you
Oh, I do
And I’m going to ‘til I’m gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
same old, same old
Well, I don’t
I don’t

I’m gonna break things
I’m gonna cross the line
And make you wake up
‘cause you won’t

I’m gonna name names
I’m gonna call us out
I’m gonna say it
If you won’t

Do I love you
Oh, I do
And I’m going to ‘til I’m gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
Same old, same old
Well, I don’t

Oh I don’t wanna fight
But I’ll fight with you
If I have to, if I have to

‘Cause do I love you
Oh, I do
And I’m going to ‘til I’m gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
Same old, same old
Same old, same old
Well, I don’t
I don’t

As I walk along,
I wonder what went wrong,
With our love, a love that was so strong.
And as I still walk on,
I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young.

I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.

I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.

I've been so many places in my life and time 
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhymes 
I've acted out my life in stages 
With ten thousand people watching 
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you 

I know your image of me is what I hope to be 
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see 
There's no one more important to me 
Baby can't you see through me 
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you 

You taught me precious secrets of a true love witholding nothing 
You came out in front when I was hiding 
Now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together 
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding 

I love you in a place where there's no space or time 
I love you for my life you're a friend of mine 
And when my life is over 
Remember when we were together 
We were alone and I was singing this song to you 

I love you in a place where there's no space or time 
I love you for in my life you're a friend of mine 
And when my life is over 
Remember when we were together 
We were alone and I was singing this song to you 
We were alone and I was singing this song to you 
We were alone and I was singing this song 
Singing this song to you

Paper doll, come try it on
Step out of that black chiffon
Here’s a dress of gold and blue
Sure was fun being good to you

This one we made just for Fall

And Winter runs a bit too small
This mint green is new for Spring
My love didn’t cost a thing

You’re like twenty-two girls in one

And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll

Fold a scarf, Moroccan red

And tie your hair behind your head
Strap into some heels that hurt
You should’ve kept my undershirt

You’re like twenty-two girls in one

And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll

Cut the cord and pull some strings

And make yourself some angel wings
And if those angel wings don’t fly
Someone’s gonna paint you another sky

‘Cause you’re like twenty-two girls in one

And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall?
