LYRICS

Hold my hand. Don't let me walk alone.
Do you see what I have done?
Eyes are watching from beyond my soul.
Everyone must know what the setting sun has shown.

(chorus)
Hiding in the shadows of fear and lies.
I look into her eyes and I see her cry.
Walk away, hiding from her stare. So unfair.
I've got to run away. I must go, oh no.

Turning back, from the sands of time.
Living for another day.
Sadness is my only friend.
There's no way to make things right for a better day.

(chorus)
Hiding in the shadows of fear and lies.
I look into her eyes and I see her cry.
Walk away, hiding from her stare. So unfair.
I've got to run away. I must go, oh no.

I only want to walk away from the pain.
Memories never letting go.
Run away from my own mistake.
Tomorrow's judgment day is closing in on yesterday.

(chorus)
Hiding in the shadows of fear and lies.
I look into her eyes and I see her cry.
Walk away, hiding from her stare. So unfair.
I've got to run away. I must go, oh no.
