The Runaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So many things that you could say or do
Don't wanna say goodbye
So many nights that i would cry for you
But you were cold as ice
Now i'm searching for
Someone i can be sure of
Sacrifice the only one that i need
No hideaway for the runaway
Every creature of love had excited me
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
So tomorrow i'll tell you that i'm sorry
And it's too late to worry if
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
Just an echo of a distant dream
That slowly disappears in the
Magic of the ecstasy
That flows between the tears
Then before my eyes the crystal was broken
I swallowed every promise you made
No hideaway for the runaway
Every creature of love had excited me
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
So tomorrow i'll tell you that i'm sorry
And it's too late to worry if
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
Moonlight is cruel as the light
And the future is only a lie
Oh, baby
Birds of a feather will fly
I'm alone in the night
No hideaway for the runaway
Every creature of love had excited me
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
So tomorrow i'll tell you that i'm sorry
And it's too late to worry if
Someone is breaking your heart (heart) (heart)
So tomorrow i'll tell you that i'm sorry (fade)
