Runaway (2016,2020)

Just give it up and let it go, Not the same face you knew long ago

I’m flying high since I left on my own

Rose from the dark, resurrected my soul.

Reignited the light I longed to restore

Found an ambar sky away from the storm

Chorus 1:

Ain’t no place to call a home, since you made it clear I don’t belong no more

Don’t you cry when you need company cause a runaway’s whats become of me

I’m a runaway

I don’t need you anymore, you’re like the outliers laying on the floor

Baggage all zipped up, no more room for yours

I hear folks talking about me, critics of the path I’m steering

But I’ve gained more on my own than I ever did with them

(Chorus 1)

Chorus 2:

I’m a runaway, who traded all I’ve known in exchange 

For the road to survival,

No you don’t know, and no you’ll never quite catch up to me

I’m a runaway.

Bridge:

I needed you there but you were gone

broke me down when all I wanted was love 

turned away, left behind and ignored

Now my world runs faster then it did before

(Chorus 1, Chorus 2)
