1. Running away through the night so black
The stars on my shoulder pulling me back
Whispers of you ringing through my ears
Trying to forget all the wasted tears.

And all your lies in your blue eyes
Another day goes by and all I can say.

[Chorus 1:]
Is you, wish I could forget you, oh
But you keep coming back
You're running away through the night so black
The stars on your shoulder, pulling you back
Baby, you can forget, but I just can't.

2. One day I'm here and one day i'm there
Some days I wake up and just don't know where.
I see the lights in the city streets
I'm wide awake while the world still sleeps.

In all my dreams the picture freezes
And every night it's always the same.

[Chorus 2:]
Ooo oh, wish I could forget you, oh
But you keep coming back
You're running away through the night so black
The stars on your shoulder pulling you back
Baby you can't forget, but I just can't
No I just can't no I just can't
I just can't.

[Chorus 3:]
Ooooo, wish I could forget you, oh
But you keep coming back
You keep coming back
Ooo ohh, wish I could forget you
Oh I just can't.
