This song is for the girls who have met a boy who talks a great line but turns out to be completely unreliable. Not a bad guy necessarily, but one you just have to stay away from for your own good.
This song is for the boys who don't even know that they are such a person, but need to learn.
This song is for the confusion that comes before you figure it all out.
This song is for when you do.
Lyrics:
He's the shadows in a lightning storm
A runner and a one-man show
He's the dust thats covering my dreams
He's the sunny mist in summer days
He's what I just cant put away
He talks in circles
And he's never what he seems
Look me in the eyes
And keep on lying
Give me a reason why
Because honey, now I'm trying
To run away from you
To run away from you
Oh Danny boy,
You were never for me
Cause you're only for you
I don't care if you were lonely
The things you did you'll never justify
No matter how hard you might try
Every word he said swept right on by
Cause every one was just a lie
I somehow missed the darkness in his eyes
He dropped in like a gentle rain
That swept into a hurricane
He laughs and laughs while I'm left here
With nothing in my hands
He looked me in the eyes
And he was lying
There was no reason why
And honey, now I'm trying
To run away from you
To run away from you
Oh Danny boy,
When I turned around
It's like I didn't know you
I see it all so clearly
And now I know its true
That you, you, you --
Think the truth is only one word deep
That its a promise you don't have to keep
That lying somehow breaks the pain
That every girl will be the same
And I'm happy that I escaped
I'm happy, cause you're too much for me to take
I hope you're happy knowing
That there's no one else like you
He's the shadows in a lightning storm
A runner and a one-man show
He's a lesson learned about goodbyes
Look me in the eyes
And please stop lying
I don't need a reason why
I just want to know you're trying
To run away
To run away
Oh Danny boy,
It couldn't be me
Because it never was you
You were running right on through
You were running right on through
