[Verse 1]
I saw you dancing in a crowded room
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye
[Refrain]
I don't know why I run away
I make you cry when I run away
[Verse 2]
You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care
[Refrain]
I don't know why I run away
I make you cry when I run away
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
[Chorus]
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
[Verse 3]
I made you think that I would always stay
I said some things that I should never say
Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
And now you won't love me for a second time
[Refrain]
I don't know why I run away, ooh, baby
I make you cry when I run away
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that I'm much too late
And you deserve someone better
[Chorus]
Save your tears for another day (Hey)
Save your tears for another day (Hey, hey, hey)
[Outro]
I don't know why I run away (Run away, run away, run away)
I make you cry when I run away (I run away, I run away)
I said, save your tears for another day (ooh, baby, oh-oh)
Save your tears for another day (Hey, let's go)
(Save your tears for another day) Hey, hey, hey, hey
I said, save your tears for another day (Hey)
