lyrics

There is a moment when you learn you're not yourself
You've been put aside on a dusty shelf
I'm working on apologies I shouldn't have to write
The thoughts inside my head are far from black and white

My innocence is filled with fear
The words I try to say are not the words you hear
You make me promises, I don't need them now
It's hard to harvest when there are no fields to plow

Run when you see me coming
Run when you need love
Run when you see me coming
I ain't no mourning dove

The sun is rising, I close my eyes
Not wanting to see what's behind my own disguise
I keep on moving, I've been trying on new skin
This one I'm wearing, it is worn, it is thin

Run when you see me coming
Run when you need love
Run when you see me coming
I ain't no mourning dove

I didn't mean to make you feel this way
I thought for just a time both of us could play
There's so much I've forgotten, how to feel and how to breathe
There's one thing I have learned: I should always leave

Run when you see me coming
Run when you need love
Run when you see me coming
I ain't no mourning dove
I ain't no mourning dove
