You've got to forgive me when I run away like this,

'Cause I just can't seem to help it.

I'll tell you my deepest, darkest secrets,

And you'll let me put tears on your shoulder,

But after that's done we won't talk anymore.

'Cause I can't really tell anyone what I've done

And what's been done to me

Without getting real, real scared.

'Cause you knowing means that I've got to own up to what I've told,

And if I don't tell then it never happened, right?

But you made me tell,

And now it's real

So I'm going to run from that

'Cause it's nearly all I know to do.

So please know I'm sorry

And that it's nothing that you've done.

It's just that I can only let people get so close,

And you've gotten just so close

That it's time for me to run now

'Cause really, no one's supposed to get close at all.

So don't feel bad

And don't get sad

When I do this thing called running away.

I don't look in your eyes

And I stop answering my phone when you call me up

'Cause I'm doing that thing called running away.

And I'm sorry

'Cause I love you (and that I really mean)

But loving just isn't my thing

So now I'm gonna do that thing

That a lot of people like to call running away.

In my opinion, this was written in a really awkward style; but it sort of fits. I pretty much garbled it out within a few minutes...
