Lyrics:

(Stephen Stills) You ask me to read this letter That you wrote the night before And you really should know better Now she's worth a whole lot more chorus: Brother, you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why You won't go and say goodbye Then you said the fault was yours When you really were to blame 'Twas as if to close the doors And to hide away in shame chorus Yes, and why, tell me why Can't you see that it's not right It's a lie, it's a lie Don't hide your sorrow in the night chorus And you know the pain is double But for her it's even worse You must face her with the trouble 'Though it's hurting like a curse chorus Brother, you know you can't run away and hide Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why You won't go and say Gonna go and say, gonna go and say goodbye
