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 behind
All the freedom and fame, I've gotta find.

And I wonder, how long it will take them
To notice that I'm gone
And I wonder, how far it'll take me.

To run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, this life makes no sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me.

I was just trying to be myself, have it your way, I'll meet you in hell
It's 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 will take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder.

If I was a mistake, I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped 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 one day
Why won't you help me run away.

It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away.

I could sing for change on a Paris street
Be a red light dancer in New Orleans
I could start again to the family
I could change my name, come and go as I please.

In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you, wasn't it you
Wasn't it you that made me run away.

I was just trying to be myself, have it your way I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
Hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
Never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away.

It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me.

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.
