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 befind
All the freedom and fame
I've gotta find
And I wonder how long it'll take them
To notice that I'm gone
And I wonder how far it'll take me, to run away
Run away, run away, run away
I was just trying to be myself
You can go your way, I'll meet you in hell
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'll take them
To see my bed is made
And I wonder if was a mistake
I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These voices trapped 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 my name
God won't you help me run away!
Run away, run away, run away
I could sing for change on a Paris street
Be a redlight dancer in New Orleans
I could start again, choose a family
I could change my name, come and go as I please
In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone...
But wasn't it you (wasn't it you) wasn't it you that made me run away!
I was just trying to be myself
You go your way, I'll meet you in hell
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
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
