Running Back To You

Heather Headley - Running Back To You

How can you forgive me

when I've often gone astray

How can you think of me

when I do things my way

Turning my back from you

The one who loved me first

Having my own desires

Renewing my worldly thirst

You told me you loved me

and I should make up my mind

You tell me come back now

but I keep wasting time

Feeling so very weak

you say I can be strong

but I feel I've gone too far

but you tell me to come home

You love me still

and I know this is real

And I am running back to you

I see you're standing there for me

Your arms are opened wide

And I don't have to cry no more

You're standing there for me

And I am running back to you

Why do I go away

when I know I am no good

when I'm on my own

yeah

You told me you could keep me

But I've turned it away

I failed you so much now

I don't know what to say

Using the same excuse

that I am only humor

You tell me you've been there

And hold your nail scarred hands

so I can see

Now I know I am free

'cauz you're standing there for me

And I am running back to you

Why do I go away

When I know I am no good

I have taken advantage of your love

and grace

Forgive me Lord

and take me back home

take me back home

'cauz I'm running back to you

please please take me home

You see I'm tired of pain

and I don't like fear

But Lord I gotta be more sincere

And I am running back to you

I see you're standing there for me

Your arms are opened wide

And I don't have to cry no more

You're standing there for me

And I am running back to you

I never should have left your side

then no

determine me to your guiding light

determine me to your guiding light

yea yeah yeah yeah... no
