Runaways
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.
Fooled you once
Fooled you twice, the shame is on you
Blame me now
I can't help the things that I do
I get too close
So close to love, that it disappears
My love can hurt
Hurt like a bitch, I'll admit it right here
I'm just a runaway, runaway heartache
I'm just a runaway, runaway
Breaking hearts ain't always easy
You better run from the devil in me
I'll be gone before you leave me
Baby, I was born to be free
I'm a runaway
You wanna stay but I only pass through
Don't burn yourself
You get too hot, I'll be playing you cool
I'm just a runaway, runaway heartache
I'm just a runaway, runaway
Breaking hearts ain't always easy
You better run from the devil in me
I'll be gone before you leave me
Baby, I was born to be free
Breaking hearts ain't always easy
You better run from the devil in me
I'll be gone before you leave me
Baby, I was born to be free
I'm just a runaway, runaway heartache
I'm just a runaway, runaway heartache
Please don't take it personal
Something that I can't control
One by one I watch 'em fall, all fall down
Told you I'm a runaway
Can't keep me inside a cage
Baby, I'll be gone before you know
Breaking hearts ain't always easy
You better run from the devil in me
I'll be gone before you leave me
Baby, I was born to be free
Breaking hearts ain't always easy
You better run from the devil in me
I'll be gone before you leave me
Baby, I was born to be free
Breaking hearts ain't always easy
You better run from the devil in me
I'll be gone before you leave me
Baby, I was born to be free
