[Verse 1]
Showed your love to the darkest night
She left you in the cold but she brought you to the light
She left you for the wolves in November rain
How they howl, how I sing, how we're all the same
You took your leap and you hit the ground
You went looking for love but life's what you found
You got too much heart for this cold, cold world
So you gave the rest to a scared little girl
[Chorus]
Are you gonna run, my dear, with the dogs
From the fear that you'll never be back again?
Are you gonna hide and seek
From the dreams, you think nobody else would get?
Isn't that the point of loving and leaving?
Finding yourself misunderstood
That's the difference in the life that you think you should have
And the life you know you could
The life you know you could
[Verse 2]
Time flew on but you've grown so strong
And I hope you don't mind me holding on
With a little more we'll get a place of our own
But I don't need no house 'cause you are my home
And you're better off living under these conditions
Where nothing you do is an imposition
And nothing you say will be held against you
But the songs you sing 'cause they're nothing but true
[Chorus]
So are you gonna run, my dear, with the dogs
From the fear that you'll never be back again?
Are you gonna hide and seek
From the dreams, you think nobody else would get?
Isn't that the point of loving and leaving?
Finding yourself misunderstood
That's the difference in the life that you think you should have
And the life you know you could
The life you know you could
[Outro]
Yeah, you're better off living under these conditions
