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.
See the rain run in the window
I'm wakin' in the middle of the night
Try to make sense of a rain storm
It don't matter if you're wrong or you're right
So if you go again
Just go again
But don't make a scene
I said, go again
Well, go ahead
But it'll cut straight into the middle of me
You said you wouldn't run away
That was something I was made to believe
You said you wouldn't run away
That was a promise you weren't planning to keep
You said you wouldn't run away, run away
That was something I was made to believe
You said you wouldn't run away, run away
That was a promise you weren't planning to keep
When I look back on the fanfare
Now I see a little differently
All the blank stares looking nowhere
Was a sign I wasn't able to see
So go again
Just go again
Oh babe, but don't you make a scene
I said, go again
Well, go ahead
But it'll cut straight into the middle of me
Straight into the middle of me
It'll cut straight into the middle of me
Straight into the middle of me
You said you wouldn't run away
That was something I was made to believe
You said you wouldn't run away
That was a promise you weren't planning to keep
You said you wouldn't run away, run away
That was something I was made to believe
You said you wouldn't run away, run away
That was a promise you weren't planning to keep
I never thought you'd run away (girl)
There's so much we gotta say
I never thought you'd run away (girl)
'Cause there's so much we didn't say
So, don't you try givin' me up
Don't you try givin' me up
Don't you try givin' me up
Don't you try givin' me up
You said you wouldn't run away, run away
That was a promise you weren't planning to keep
You said you wouldn't run away, run away
(I never thought that you'd go running, running)
(I never thought that you'd go running, run away)
You said you wouldn't run away, run away
(I never thought that you'd go running, running)
(I never thought that you'd go running, run away)
You said you wouldn't run away
(I never thought that you'd go running, running)
(I never thought that you'd go running, run away)
You said you wouldn't run away
(I never thought that you'd go running, running)
(I never thought that you'd go running, run away)
You said you wouldn't run away
(I never thought that you'd go running, running)
(I never thought that you'd go running, run away)
