Running from the Rain
lyrics by Costa

I'm not as helpless as I used to be
When I relied too much on pain
There was a time when I was too scared to leave
When I should've been too scared to stay

Chorus:
When I first thought of leaving, I knew I couldn't stay away
But there's no way back now, so I'll just keep running from the rain

I'm sick of making excuses for myself
Stories of what happened to me
I'm sick of hiding things from those who care
Hiding what they could plainly see

chorus

I was so happy that it hurt to laugh
and it felt so good to cry
The tears won't leave me if I stick around
So I'll just laugh and say goodbye

chorus

It takes a big person to stick around
But I'd rather turn my tail and run
And I'm not sorry that it's over now
I'm just sorry that it had begun

chorus
