This is my sad song. It's a mix of self pity and self preservation, topped off with a lot of regret. Thanks to Derek for delivering a killer vocal!

lyrics

Running

You never really knew all the things that I've been through
I didn't want to scare you so I kept you from the truth
Now you feel like I'm leaving, like I never really came
Couldn't really blame you, guess I would have done the same

You never really knew all the things that I would do
But I wanted to be better cause I want it to be true
Now I'm staring at the reasons that I just can't seem to change
Couldn't take you leaving but I couldn't walk away

I'm running from the reasons
I'm running from the truth
I'm running from the best thing that I never want to lose
Running from the reasons just like running through the rain
Hiding no denying why I'm running away

You never really knew all the love I had for you
I never let you inside but it's not because of you
And I'm sorry for my actions, I'm sorry for my walls
Safer just to do this than to face this kind of fall

I'm running from the reasons
I'm running from the truth
I'm running from the best thing that I never want to lose
Running from the reasons just like running through the rain
Hiding no denying why I'm running away

I can't change

I never really knew all the things I put you through
But I never meant to hurt you, what I never meant to do
And I'm sorry for the mess I've made, I'm sorry for my low
I'm sorry for tomorrow that we'll never really know
