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.
Hear your voice on the phone
And my heart just died when you said you're not going home
Where are you? Are you safe?
Are you trying to escape from what you can't undo
Hoping that the world forgets you?
But I can't, no I won't forget you
I know you're out there tonight
Looking for somewhere to hide
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
You're hanging over the edge
It's not too late to look back
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
Everywhere that you turn
Somehow every face is another bridge that you burn
So you think you can't stay
If you could find another life in another place
And hope the world forgets your name
But I can't, no I won't forget you
I know you're out there tonight
Looking for somewhere to hide
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
You're hanging over the edge
It's not too late to look back
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
You think you lost it all
And there's nothing left of you
There's nowhere you can fall
But love will catch you (love will catch you)
But love will catch you (love will catch you)
Love will catch you (love will catch you)
I know you're out there tonight
Looking for somewhere to hide
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
You're hanging over the edge
It's not too late to look back
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
You think you lost it all
You think you lost it all
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
Hey hey hey
You don't have to runaway
Hey hey hey
