Sam Holland - Love Don't Run Away/family Lyrics

I can't find the words to say
To put into a song
My breath is fleeting
Like a flock of birds when the season's change
But I'm never leaving
Where she is is where I'll stay

She came right in and turned a light on
I made my heart into a home
And he said, "son, I'm sorry
That this so happens to fall on you
Don't you worry
Cause worry's all that worry can do"

Oh a daughter's father
Doing all he knows to do
But the day I saw her
Said I ain't got a thing to lose

The lights inside her eyes
The way her hands fit with mine
And tho the darkness leaves us blind
Heaven's on our side
The way she's there when my courage fades
Painting love in the blues and grays
Saying, "listen here, don't be afraid
Love don't run away

I will drive all night just to give you love
Hundred of miles cause you're more than enough
I ain't gonna run away

Hold my breath for as long as it takes
Til rain floods the Earth and Heaven opens its gates
I ain't gonna run away

When the winds are wild and the waters rough
I'll fix my eyes on the skies above
I ain't gonna run away

I will hold my breath for as long as it takes
Til rain floods the Earth and Heaven opens its gates
I ain't gonna run away
Love don't run away

Love don't bend and love don't break
Love don't fail and love don't fade
Love don't run away

Love ain't proud and love will wait
Love preserves and keeps you safe
Love don't run away
Love don't run away

You still say you're sorry as if it's all your fault
But nothing ever breaks even you know
And even though I was so young, too young to understand
I remember one day she was gone
Cause shared hearts break easy, and even rings made of gold can't carry all that weight
But as your nights were growing so cold, you never declared defeat

But I wouldn't be all that you see
If our history played out perfectly
And family, would never mean as much as much to me
If the miles between were never seen

"At seven years old you can't expect him to know
Just what he's losing"
Well I know she's not around, no longer there to lay me down and be more than a memory
I thought promises break easy, like "I'll never go"
But I know you had to
And 180 miles ain't that fair away, and I'm glad it was never easy

Cause I wouldn't be all that you see
If our history played out perfectly
And family would never mean as much to me
If the miles between were never seen
