On the Run

When I look into your eyes I see
The shady colours of the life you lead
They don't include me
I don't fit your lies.
Always meeting in secret places
Avoiding so many different faces
You can't run forever
That you know.

I am but an untold story
In your life
I stand before you
I am known to you
And you alone.
One day they'll be sure to catch you
You can't change the fate before you
And I am but a burden to your style.

You chose to lead a life of crime
You're on the run all the time
I can't keep up
I'll only slow you down.

Some day if you walk a free man
Come back for me
And I will stand
Proudly before you
As your beaming bride.
I'm not content to be undercover
As your secret shameless lover
I want to be noted rightly
As your wife.

But until that day has come
You must continue on your run
You must go down
That risky road alone.
So now we must say goodbye
I'll wait for you until I die
The pain in my heart is great
As I watch you leave.

You chose to lead a life of crime
You're on the run all the time
I can't keep up
I'll only slow you down.
