Brighter Days
Saint Raymond Lyrics

Say you wanna run away
You want to leave and escape.

Say you won't be there
You won't be around.

Lights in the morning, fades by the evening
The excitement fades away quickly.

If I was to tell you, you wouldn't believe me
You wouldn't believe the truth I have to share.

Slip a bit further, everytime you're not here
I fall apart a little bit more every time you're not around.

Trying to show you, but still you won't see it
I'm trying to prove myself to you, but you refuse to see the truth.

If you say you're gonna leave for brighter days
If you promise to leave and find a better future elsewhere.

If you say you think that things'll never change
If you think that our situation won't ever improve.

I won't have to keep on pushing you away
I won't have to force you to leave or separate from me.

If you escape, then I won't have to
If you leave, I won't have to make you leave or end it myself.

Hidin' 'round corners, still you're chasin' my shadow
Your shadow is following me every step I take.

If I was to see you, we'd be back to the old flow
If I saw you again, we'd go back to our old ways.

So I keep myself hidden, and you're not even thinkin'
I'm staying out of sight, and you don't even realize it.

I can't seem to tell you, that we're slowly sinking
I can't seem to communicate to you that we're heading towards disaster.

Maybe I won't feel the same, no
Perhaps I won't feel the same way I do now.

Maybe when you find enough, I'll regret the final push
Maybe after you leave and find what you're looking for, I'll regret letting you go.

Maybe we don't need to change
Perhaps we don't need to change our situation or relationship.

Say you wanna run away, run away, run away
You want to escape and avoid any involvement with me.
