Running Scared
Tandy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have never found a home
All the faces I have seen before
Make me feel I'm all alone
I'm running scared
I need a place where I can hide
Someone to care
And I wonder
Will I find a missing port?
I look for someone
The guardian angel of my heart
Can you shelter me
Can you take away my fears
Can you shelter me
Can you wipe away my tears
I'm running scared
I need a place where I can hide
Someone to care
To turn my darkness into light
I'm running scared
I need a place where I can hide
Someone to care
To turn my darkness into light
I'm running scared
I need a place where I can hide

@Steam Boat Don't start with that crap Child actors have very little control over that stuff mainly parents and even if they did choose to be their that doesn't mean they get to be sexually abused and exploited. Smh You need to get your mind checked if you think that will ever be okay
