Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've made up my mind.
And you're not gonna change it this time.
I don't care what you did yesterday.
And I know what you'll do tomorrow.
When you run away.
I will bring you back.
Oh my love is the red against your black.
The dead will live again.
You will see those dry bones dancing.
In a death defying marvelous parade.
I'll make you strong.
I'll make you brave.
When you run away,
I will bring you back.
Oh my love for you is the red against your black.
When you run away.
I will bring you back.
Oh my love is the red against your black.
I ran a thousand miles for you.
Oh and you will break my heart.
And I will do it all again.
Because I couldn't stand to be apart.
When you run away.
I will bring you back.
Oh my love for you is the red against your black.
When you run away.
I will bring you back.
Oh my love is the red against your black.
Yes my love is the red against your black.
