The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Should have left you standing right where you stood Should have let you go, should have had the sense to know Like a train you'd come and I'd lose my place Now I'm on this trip, I took a fall from grace Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide From the look of love, from the eyes of pride Nowhere to go, no place to run From the look of love, now I've come undone I've had a map laid out from the day I was born But the roads are blocked and the paper is worn And all the books I've read and the things I know Never taught me to laugh, never taught to let go Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide From the look of love, from the eyes of pride Nowhere to go, no place to run From the look of love, now I've come undone My conscience is clear I know right from wrong That's a lie, I know nothing except that you're gone But there's more to learn from the look in your eyes That trip round this world, the stars in the sky Now all the books I've read, and the things I know Never taught me to live, never taught me to let go Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide From the look of love, from the eyes of pride Nowhere to go, no place to run From the look of love, now I've come undone Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide From the look of love, Lord knows I've tried Nowhere to go, no place to run From the look of love, now I've come undone (Nowhere to hide) (No place to run) (Nowhere to hide) (No place to run)
