Runaway

[Intro] I was feeling sad Can't help looking back Highways flew by Run, run away No sense of time Like you to stay Want to keep you inside [Hook] Run-run-run away, lost-lost-lost my mind Like you to stay, want you to be my prize Run-run-run away, lost-lost-lost my mind Like you to stay, want you to be my prize [Verse 1: Laws] And now you standing there, holding out our promise ring You’re crying but you feeling not a thing ‘Cause it dawned on you like a new day that your man’s not a king He a parasite and your life’s really got up in And all you got is him but he got everybody You a working woman and he a busy body You had big dreams but he had a little hobby And you had the feeling you could change him, it was silly probably And now here we are, dinner table flipped Cell phone open, text message six, on the floor like the Tell-Tale Heart She ask do I wanna be this? I’m like oh hell start ‘Cause I’m at the point of giving in so we can begin again Fresher than the prince in them Bel-Air parks But I can tell by the look that I get from her eyes I took everything she had and now she empty inside I try to reverse roles, if it was me in her place I’d be putting someone in hearse mode and I don’t feel like a stranger She looking at me like I raped her, all of the sudden The memory of what I used to be drifting through the air like a vapor And it breaks her, she don’t got nowhere to go We don’t even know the neighbors so I tell her… [Hook] [Verse 2: Laws] Now I was never one to fight but we would argue How I would never be the type of guy that her mother likes What do I do? Go and prove her mother right? I’m too embarrassed, I don’t even want the rights Show up at her door with flowers like poor me What I do? And then I’m blocked at the doorway I could see her in the kitchen with her head down Wishing she could put it all behind her and call me We was too close and it’s been too long And the memory of what we had is too strong She had some genuine feelings but they was used wrong And now the only decent thing to do is move on, as she watched me It took her every ounce of willpower not to stop me And accept my apology, all of a sudden, heard some footsteps from behind me Think she wanted to hold me but she only told me… [Hook] Run away, run away, run away Run away, run away, run away Run away, run away, run away Run away, run away, run away
