Verse 1
Looking for a way out
everything changes-everything stays the same
When living becomes-a sruggle just to survive
just another story 'bout a mother and a child
Verse 2
Can't hide the bruises
from another-it's all your fault kind of night
She holds her child tightly
whispers, can you keep a secret
Chorus
Runaway
caught between wrong and right
There ain't no room anymore-for compromise
this life isn't living-one big lie
no way to raise a child
Runaway
need to get out-before it goes too far
runaway
Verse 3
It looks good on the outside
but underneath the surface
he almost took her life again
Sirens still ring in her head
from saturday night-drunk again
Verse 4
And these tears-not from the leaving
they're about what's best
for a mother and child-
Bridge
-it's time-nothin' gonna stand in our way
Not a slamming door-a threatening fist
words of hatred exchanged
for all the neighbors to hear
Chorus
Runaway
caught between wrong and right
There ain't no room anymore-for compromise
this life isn't living-one big lie
no way to raise a child
Runaway
need to get out-before it's too late
runaway...
