Runaway

[Verse 1]

You been on the run-around, another night, another town, a little week

Don’t get you down, until you fell, and you hit the ground

So you went around the block again, another man, another friend, and little lies

Until you said you better sleep, it’ll never help

So you click your black heels three times, but you never get home

You still lay in his bed, feeling dirty and alone

You toss and turn ’cause you know you gon’ be lost

Lost inside this ghetto fairytale gone wrong

[Chorus 1]

‘Cause you don’t have to run away

You never have to run away

No, you never have to run away

No more

But you don’t wanna be alone

You never wanna be alone

But you know you’re gonna run yourself back home

[Verse 2]

Lover baby on the way, a different girl, a different end

You couldn’t bear to see the face so you left a note that daddy couldn’t stay

But you got nowhere to lay your head, ’cause everywhere you slept is your hair

Your lot of fun, then you got so scared that you had to run

So you click your Amex three times, but you’ll never get home

You spend all of your days living like a rolling stone

And now you wish you had somewhere to belong

Somebody that you could your own

[Chorus 2]

Now you wanna run away

You always wanna run away

You always wanna run away

Hey-hey-hey

You always wanna run away

You always wanna run away

But you know you’re gonna have to change your ways

[Bridge]

Lo, since you sold your soul

Stranger in the mirror

Stand and stare at your dirty shoes

They gonna get you home

[Chorus 3]

‘Cause you don’t have to run away

You never have to run away

No, you never have to run away

No more

But you don’t wanna be alone

You never wanna be alone

But you know you gotta run yourself back home

You have to run yourself back home

He have to run himself back home

She have to run herself back home

You have to run yourself, ya know
