Got the call on the streets of Seattle She said, "Honey, I don't got much time to talk" I broke down 'cause I knew what was next And she said, "I'm okay, but I'm locked in a holding cell 'Til someone gets me out Can you help me? I have no one else" So there I was, a defenseless middle kid Crying out for the right words to say Sorry, I can't do anything at all So I hung up and called you I hung up and called you 'Cause you were the one, oh You were the one I needed You were the one, oh You were the one I needed the most ♪ Why, why did you run? So I took a stupid fight with him after the accident Funny now 'cause I thought it was your defense 'Cause I thought you were sober then There I was, a lost kid looking for a home that he once knew So I broke down and called you 'Cause you were the one, oh You were the one I needed You were the one, oh You were the one I needed the most ♪ Why, why did you run? Why, why did you run? Why, why did you run? Why, why did you run? ♪ Why, why did you run? You were the one You were the one Why, why did you run? Why, why did you run?
