Lyrics

I need it; can't you see? So don't run out on me.
When everything's complete, then I'll be indiscrete.
Oh, don't be backing down; I need you now.
Go burn in effigy, just don't run out on me.

Nothing will happen if you don't want it to.
I'll make you a promise, that I won't run out on you.

It's funny cause it's true; you've found someone like you.
You're young and unaware. Don't smile; don't point; don't stare.
Your churches and your state: it all can wait.
Or flee the country, flee, just don't run out on me.

Nothing will happen if you don't want it to.
I'll make you a promise that I won't run out on you.

Don't you go and do it.
You'll regret it if you do.
So, don't you go and do it.
You've got your whole life ahead of you.

The grave that I have made was not, by you, okayed.
I've packed your things and I'm amazed you're right on time.
'Tween solace and despair, I'll find you there
Or hide in agony if you run out on me.
