I see you running, don’t know what you’re running from
Nobody’s coming, what’d you do that was so wrong?
Look back and turn back, look at yourself
Don’t be afraid just look at yourself.

If you need assistance or if all you need is love
There’s no point in hiding, tell me what you’re frightened of
You’ve got a friend, just look at yourself
Don’t be afraid, just look at yourself.

Look back and turn back, look at yourself
Don’t be afraid just look at yourself.
