Judah & The Lion – Why Did You Run? lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got the call on the streets of Seattle
She said, "Honey, I don't got much time to talk"
I broke down ’cause I knew what was next
And she said, "I'm okay, but I'm locked in a holding cell
’Til someone gets me out
Can you help me? I have no one else"
There I was, a defenseless middle kid
Crying out for the right words to say
Sorry, I can't do anything at all
So I hung up and called you
I hung up and called you

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you were the one, whoa
You were the one I needed
You were the one, whoa
You were the one I needed the most

[Chorus]
Why did you run?
Why did you run?
Why did you run?

[Verse 2]
So I took a stupid fight with him after the accident
Funny now 'cause I thought it was your defense
'Cause I thought you were sober then
So there I was, a lost kid looking for a home that he once knew
So I broke down and called you

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you were the one, whoa
You were the one I needed
You were the one, whoa
You were the one I needed the most

[Chorus]
Why did you run?
Why did you run?
Why did you run?

[Bridge]
When I just want you to be happy
Why can't you be happy?
I want you to be happy

[Chorus]
Why did you run?
Why did you run?
Why did you run?
Why did you run?

[Outro]
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why did you run?
Why, why, why, why, why, why did you run?
Just wanted, want you to be happy
I just want you to be
I, I just want you to be
Why, why did you
Why-why, why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why, why, why
