Run From Love
Somerville Jimmy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is strong won't let you go
Hunts you down it wants you so.
Lost in love a fool can't see
Broken heart are meant to be

You can't run from love
You can't run.
Tears its way into your heart,
Leaves and you fall apart
Pain is all it has to give
All I want is to hold

Tears of pain, once tears of joy
Emptiness and a boy destroyed
A heart lies lost and slightly soiled
And still I cry to hold you





You can't run from love
You can't run.

Broken heart are meant to be
You can't run from love
You can't run.
Tears its way into your heart,

All i want is to hold
Tears of pain, once tears of joy
Emptiness and a boy destroyed
A heart lies lost and slightly soiled
And still i cry to hold you
You can't run from love
You can't run.

Yes, I know, it’s true, no matter how much I run, Love will always run faster….. 😌

This video always reminds me of one of my legendary parties that I gave from the 90s to the mid-2000s. A lot of people, a lot of drinks, loud music, uppers and downers, sex... today I have the memories, countless photos and videos and the longing for a few friends who are unfortunately no longer there.
