Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got the call on the streets of Seattle
She said, "Honey, I don't got much time to talk"
I broke down, cause I knew what was next
And she said
"I'm okay, but I'm locked in a holding cell
'Til some one gets me out
Can you help me? I have no one else"
[Verse 2]
So I was there a defenseless middle kid
Crying out for the right words to say
Sorry I can't do anything at all
So I hung up and called you
I hung up and called you
[Verse 3]
‘Cause you were the one
Oh
You were the one I needed
You were the one
Oh
You were the one I needed
The most
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
[Verse 4]
So I took a stupid fight with him
After the accident
Funny now cause I thought it was your defense
Cause I thought you were sober then
So there I was a lost kid looking for a home that he once knew
So I broke down and called you
I broke down and called you
[Verse 5]
‘Cause you were the one
Oh
You were the one I needed
You were the one
Oh
You were the one I needed
The most
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
[Verse 6]
I just want you to be happy
Want you to be happy
Why can't you be happy
Why can't you be happy
Why can't you be happy
Just want you to be happy
Why can't you be happy
With us
[Verse 7]
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Why, why did you run?
Oh
