Runaway

I've got my things packed

My favorite pillow

Got my sleeping bag

Climb out the window

All the pictures and pain

I've left befind

All the freedom and fame

I've gotta find

And I wonder how long it'll take them

To notice that I'm gone

And I wonder how far it'll take me, to run away

Run away, run away, run away

I was just trying to be myself

You can go your way, I'll meet you in hell

All these secrets that I shouldn't tell

I've got to run away

It's hypocritical of you

Do as you say not as you do

I'll never be your perfect girl

I've got to run away

Well I'm too young to be

Taken seriously

But I'm too old to believe

All this hypocrisy

And I wonder how long it'll take them

To see my bed is made

And I wonder if was a mistake

I might have nowhere left to go

But I know that I cannot go home

These voices trapped inside my head

Tell me to run before I'm dead

Chase the rainbows in my mind

And I will try to stay alive

Maybe the world will know my name

God won't you help me run away!

Run away, run away, run away

I could sing for change on a Paris street

Be a redlight dancer in New Orleans

I could start again, choose a family

I could change my name, come and go as I please

In the dead of night

You'll wonder where I've gone...

But wasn't it you (wasn't it you) wasn't it you that made me run away!

I was just trying to be myself

You go your way, I'll meet you in hell

All these secrets that I shouldn't tell

I've got to run away

It's hypocritical of you

Do as you say not as you do

I'll never be your perfect girl

I've got to run away

This life makes no sense to me

It don't make any sense to me

It don't make any sense to me

Life don't make any sense to me
