Lyrics
"Run Away" by Mikaela Kahn
Verse 1:
Baby, baby, baby they say that I'm no good
They caught me running around your neighborhood
And it's getting pretty hard to tell what is fiction or fact
So I'm packing my bags now baby, and I ain't never coming back
No...
Verse 2:
Baby, baby, baby I am a troubled soul
Baby, baby, baby I have trouble letting go
So I'm making my way down the countryside
And it's easier not to say goodbye,
Never say goodbye...
Pre-Ch:
When you awake
and the sunlight hits your face
No, I cannot stay
But I don't know quite how to say
Chorus:
I think I'm gonna run away
Gonna fly across the plains, gonna jump a mountain range
End up in a little town where no one knows my name
I'm gonna run away
Gonna make a great escape, won't stop until I find my way
...I'm gonna run away
Verse 3:
Baby, baby, baby I have been feeling low
And even though it's hard baby I know it's time for me to go
So I'm putting my keys on the tableside
And it's easier not to say goodbye,
Never say goodbye...
Pre-Ch:
But when you awake
And the sunlight hits your face
Baby, be brave
Cuz I don't know quite how to say
Chorus:
I think I'm gonna run away
Gonna fly across the plains, gonna jump a mountain range
End up in a little town where no one knows my name
I'm gonna run away
Gonna make a great escape, won't stop until I find my way
...I'm gonna run away
Bridge:
And I will be missing you,
But I would be such a fool to stay around
...I gotta run away
Chorus x2:
I think I'm gonna run away
Gonna fly across the plains, gonna jump a mountain range
End up in a little town where no one knows my name
I'm gonna run away
Gonna make a great escape, won't stop until I find my way
...I'm gonna run away
Outro:
Maybe, maybe, baby I have been selfish; it's true
But I have to do what's best for me
And you what's best for you...
