The Boy Who Jumped the Gun (She Runs)

He jumps the gun
tells her he’s fallen in love
but she only runs
from all of the above
she’s too scared
to have someone who cares
someone who wants to be there
she doesn’t know how to accept it
all she knows is how to quit

She runs, She runs
away from the one
who loves her
more than anyone else
she rather be by herself
than with the boy who jumped the gun

She doesn’t see what he loves her for
she doesn’t want him to love her anymore
she doesn’t know what she want
ignoring emotions she’s afraid to confront
so instead she runs away without looking back
he still holds on to hope of her coming back
he patiently awaits her return
yearning to ease the pain of the way his heart burns

This boy, he jumped the gun
he knew she was the one
but she didn’t see it that way
still doesn’t 5 years to this day
he fights alone
determined to bring home
the girl who runs

the one who runs

but doesn’t know what she’s running from
