Running Scared

(Jes Perry)
Pictures turn from brown to gray
Hair on my head is going the same way
Raindrops wash my memories away

Traffic starts then comes to a stand still
Flowers die on my windowsill
You don't even care what I'm going thru'

Did you lie with her did you die with her, did you dream with her?
Did you sigh with her did you cry with her, did you scream with her?

And I don't want to know,
I don't really care
I don't want to see,
it's too much to bear
I don't want to know,
you're not playing fair
I don't want to hear
That you're running scared again

Stepping out of my front door
Feeling good I wonder what for
Boredom's at the core of everything

Cats are dancing on my head
Cry like the wind crowing to be fed
It's not real no matter how it feels

Are you caught by her are you fraught with her, are you so in love?
Are you bought by her now in doubt of her, are you cruel to her?

And I don't want to know,
I don't really care
I don't want to see,
it's too much to bear
I don't want to know,
you're not playing fair
I don't want to hear
That you're running scared again

Saying do as you say and not as you do
Playing catch with her and breaking all the rules
You’ve got the moves
To go breaking hearts again

And I don't want to know,
I don't really care
I don't want to see,
it's too much to bear
I don't want to know,
you're not playing fair
I don't want to hear
That you're running scared again


I LOVE YOU (hidden track)

All I need is a simple song
A place to lay the words down
The ones that refuse to come
When I'm with you, when I'm with you

And all I want is to rhyme this reason
To turn it inside out and strip it to the bone
To feel just like you I'm vulnerable just like you
I am

And it feels like I've been shot with a gun
And I know that I'm not the only one
To discover complications
I've discovered complications in this poem

And all I long for is to say the way I feel
But if I say the words I'm afraid I'll watch you leave
I can't live without you don't wanna live without you
Please stay

And it feels like I've been shot thru' a gun
And I know that I'm not the only one
To discover complications
I've discovered complications in this poem
In this song
In this love

I love you
Hush
