There was a time I taught it easy
That all I needed was your love
When I was young it felt so simple
Like something given from above

I used to ask you what you wanted
You answered always “To be free”
Than you would hide away your face
Before you stole a kiss from me

Did you believe that you could run from me
Did you believe that I would never see
That smile you always tried to hide from me
Did you believe that we could never be
That it was easier to flee

All those promises we used to make
Was something we could never keep
But there was something that you used to say
That always helped me go to sleep

You used to say “I always love you
No one can ever take your place”
Your voice would sound so determined
Yet there was worry in your face

Did you believe that you could run from me
Did you believe that I would never see
That smile you always tried to hide from me
Did you believe that we could never be
That it was easier to flee

And now I know it is not easy
That it takes more than just young love
That there is nothing never given
And there is no help from above

But I know you’ve not forgotten me
And that I still make you smile
Yet I won’t wait for you to find
Those feelings you could never hide

Did you believe that you could run from me
Did you believe that I would never see
That smile you always tried to hide from me
Did you believe that we could never be
That it was easier to flee

Do you believe that you can run from me
Do you believe that I can never see
That smile you always try to hide from me
Do you believe that we can never be
That it is easier to flee
