Garret Johnston - When People Flee Lyrics

We were running high; we were running fast
We were running low; cutting up the grass
We were meant to be; never doubting it
We were always going; never wanted to admit
That we were all burnt
The fire deep inside, burning in my mind
Taught me how to live; taught me how to die
And then you ran away

"Cause my parents tried to warn me that life just ain't fair
But I was too stubborn; I didn't give a care
I had true love, and I let it slip away
And now I see the day; I see the day
When People Flee

Reached for your hand the other night, and it wasn't there
I really miss the feeling of my hands running through your hair

"Cause my parents tried to warn me that life just ain't fair
But I was too stubborn; I didn't give a care
I had true love, and I let it slip away
And now I see the day; I see the day
When People Flee

So tell me that it's okay
Tell me that it's fine
Tell me all these good things
But I know it's all a lie

"Cause my parents tried to warn me that life just ain't fair
But I was too stubborn; I didn't give a care
I had true love, and I let it slip away
And now I see the day; I see the day
When People Flee
