Running Away

(song and lyrics by Joel)

You say, "sorry" and walk away,

And you go to face a problem. I can't stand in your way.

You will lose and fall flat on your face.

And when you do, I'll still be here, despite your disgrace.

My hand is here--just take it.

I'm sick of watching you try to fake it.

Running away...

Ask me now--I know I can help.

Don't walk away ashamed again and beat up yourself.

Why pretend that I cannot see?

I can see your lack of faith and know that you just don't trust me.
