Balli Ivory Don’t Run Away! Lyrics

Running away
Don’t run away
Won’t you just stay

I’m silent
The clouds is where I’m hiding
Do you need reminding
Of where you’re supposed to be
To be
And are you still in your dreams
I see you smiling
Far too deep in your sleep
Just wipe your tears dry

Can you see me trying
I can’t seem to hide it
You’re already tired

Of running away
Don’t run away
Won’t you just stay

You’re running away
Just don’t run away
Oh won’t you just stay

I can’t bring you
Back to reality
You won’t listen
I know that you’d rather be
Flying high and
Far from your worries tonight

That’s why you’re running away
Don’t run away
