As I walk along, I wonderWhat went wrong with our loveA love that was so strongAnd as I still walk on, I think ofThe things we’ve done togetherWhile our hearts were youngI’ma walkin’ in the rainTears are fallin’ and I feel the painWishin’ you were here by meTo end this miseryI wonderI wo-wo-wo wonderWhy… why-why-why-why-whyShe ran awayAnd I wonder where she will stayMy little runawayI run-run-run-run runawayI’ma walkin’ in the rainTears are fallin’ and I feel the painWishin’ you were here by meTo end this miseryI wonderI wo-wo-wo wonderWhy… why-why-why-why-whyShe ran awayAnd I wonder where she will stayMy little runawayI run-run-run-run runawayI run-run-run-run runawayI run-run-run-run runaway
