You Ran Away Instead

It's just some hard core candy Fire and hailstones I just woke up And pushed off my headstone Visions of you And those things that you're doing They paralyze me All the way through The lies the truth And the reverse effect Just wanted to protect you baby But you ran away instead You ran away instead I saw with my own eyes Your brand new stallion Wish you had higher hopes for yourself Than a worthless medallion The tree of life still breathes Only if you believe Start climbing up that ladder And visualize your dreams The lies the truth And the reverse effect Just wanted to protect you baby But you ran away instead You ran away instead All roses wilt When the fire is gone Some sugar cubes Won't last very long The lies the truth And the reverse effect Just wanted to protect you baby But you ran away instead You ran away instead It's just some hard core candy Fire and hailstones I just woke up And pushed off my headstone
