Lyrics

Runaway

[Part I]

[Verse 1]

I'm not a star or a celebrity

I don't even know what I'm supposed to be

I wish I played guitar like the man of your dreams

But nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to see

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just a boy without a name, I touched a fire, so I burn

I don't avoid it when it rains so I can show you where it hurts

I'm just a boy with time to waste, I wear my hood to hide my hair

I tell my friends I like the pain

[Chorus 1]

I swear that I'm not scared

(Scared)

I swear that I'm not scared

(Scared)

[Verse 2]

All my lyrics lack complexity

All my songs rely on their melody

I'm forced to live a lie you would not believe

But nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to see

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just a boy without a name, I touched a fire, so I burn

I don't avoid it when it rains so I can show you where it hurts

I'm just a boy with time to waste, I wear my hood to hide my hair

I tell my friends I like the pain

[Chorus 1]

I swear that I'm not scared

(Scared)

I swear that I'm not scared

(Scared)

[Bridge]

I swear that I'm not scared (Uh-uh-uh, swear, swear that I'm not scared)

I swear that I'm not scared (Mm, oh, I promise I'm not)

I swear that I'm not scared (Uh-uh, no, I'm not that scared)

I know that I'm not scared (Scared, no, I'm not)

I swear that I'm not sca—

[Part II]

[Verse 3]

Why can't I leave it all behind?

Why can't I face what's on my mind?

So many things I could've changed

I wanna give it all away

All of the pain and sacrifice

I see the burden in your eyes

It's easy to say that I'm okay

But whenever you leave

[Chorus 2]

I wanna run away

(Away)

I wanna run away

(Away)
