Lyrics

For every woman
You will leave an open door
You find yourself thinking
Why can't I have more?
You say there's nothing you can do
You tried your best
But you were only being you
Oh no
(Oh no)
She's gone
(She's gone)
Back wherever she came from
You watched
(You watched)
Her go
(Her go)
Your reaction's far too slow
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
You don't know what you've got
Until you've lost it all
Might I suggest you find
A softer place to fall
You take for granted
All the riches of your world
You may have oysters
But you'll never find a pearl
Oh no
(Oh no)
She's gone
(She's gone)
Back wherever she came from
You watched
(You watched)
Her go
(Her go)
Your reaction's far too slow
Oh no
(Oh no)
She's gone
(She's gone)
Back wherever she came from
You watched
(You watched)
Her go
(Her go)
Your reaction's far too slow
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
She's moving on
The love has gone
You left the door wide open
She's moving on
The just has gone
The anger's felt not spoken
It got too old
Was too controlled
Could have gone on forever
The love has gone
She's moving on
When she said now you never
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Runaground
Oh no
