I WON'T RUN | BLACKGLASS ROAD

When someone expects you to leave, sometimes love is choosing to sit down and stay. “I Won't Run” is a female-led pop-rock song about the moment two people stop pretending and finally let each other get close. Real stories. Hard roads. No empty words. LYRICS I watched you work the whole room, Every smile right on cue. Everybody had a story They could always tell to you. Then I found you on the staircase With your jacket on your knees. I thought you'd say, "come on let's leave." You said, "Just sit with me." You kept looking at the doorway, Like you thought I'd turn and leave. So I set my keys beside me, And you finally looked at me. I won't run; I'm coming closer. Let the words come when they can. You can lean against my shoulder; I don't need you to pretend. I don't need you any stronger. I won't love you any less. I won't run; I'm coming closer— Closer than you've ever let me get. At home I left my coat on, Sat beside you on the bed. You started with "I'm tired," Then the things you'd never said. I used to take your silence As a sign you didn't care. Now I heard how much it cost you Just to tell me you were scared. I don't want another answer That you think I need to hear. I'd rather have you honest Than have you disappear. I won't run; I'm coming closer. Let the words come when they can. You can lean against my shoulder; I don't need you to pretend. I don't need you any stronger. I won't love you any less. I won't run; I'm coming closer— Closer than you've ever let me get. Then I told you I'd been lonely, Sleeping inches from your skin. How I'd start to tell you something, Then decide to keep it in. You pulled me underneath the covers, Put my hand against your chest. For once you weren't somewhere else. For once I didn't have to guess. I won't run; I'm coming closer. Let the words come when they can. You can lean against my shoulder; I don't need you to pretend. I don't need you any stronger. I won't love you any less. I won't run; I'm coming closer— Closer than you've ever let me get. I got closer. You let me.
