Verse 1
Opened my heart a crack
Just enough for you to peek in
An enamoured smile was your response
As you, smoothly and observantly pointed out
The beauty in me

verse 2
Silly stipulations made
When lost in the moment
You vowed never to harm this heart of mine
As I pledged to never leave, but such a plight
Can't possibly stand

Pre corus:
You're determined to go
No matter how tight I hold your hand
Honey, will you ever understand?
You need to stop
You need to stop
Now

Chorus:
Stop searching
Stop Searching
Stop pursuing what you can't catch
Oh stop before you hurt yourself again
Again
Honey, stop running
Stop hiding
From what you can't escape
Stop before you break my heart again
Again
Again and again

verse 3
Like a penny; caught your eye
You picked me up just for luck
But a shinier penny came along
And you quickly dropped me without a thought
For a little more sparkle

Pre corus:
You're determined to go
No matter how tight I hold your hand
Honey, will you ever understand?
You need to stop
You need to stop
Now

Chorus 2x:
Stop searching
Stop Searching
Stop pursuing what you can't catch
Oh stop before you hurt yourself again
Again
Honey, stop running
Stop hiding
From what you can't escape
Stop before you break my heart again
Again

Stop searching
Stop Searching
Stop pursuing what you can't catch
Oh stop before you hurt yourself again
Again
Honey, stop running
Stop hiding
From what you can't escape
Stop before you break a heart again
Again
Again and again

Bridge:
Yes I know you didn't lie to me
You believed your own sincere little fibs
Yes, I'm sure you meant what you said
You didn't lie to me
No, you lied to yourself


You're determined to go
No matter how tight i hold your hand
Honey, will you ever understand?
You need to stop
You need to stop
Now
You need to stop
