Runaway

I was just a poor young little ugly thing

Momma kicked me out just shy of 17

I was lookin' for love in the fire in the flames

But the only way to love is to get yourself hurt

That's how I became a runaway

I gave my hand to a man

He put the ring on me

He couldn't understand why

He wasn't just like me

I should've known by the look in his eyes

We looked at the same lies

That's what I realized

No hands will hold me

I'll always be lonely

Is there someone out there who can break

This habit of going

There's no way of knowing

I promise I'll always be

Your little runaway

Your little runaway

If you're not careful you'll get your heart broken

Take me as an example I'll be your token

I used to fall head over feet

With everyone I loved to see with me

So what choice does that leave

A runaway

You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine

But it gets pretty lonely in the nighttime

My shadow is almost as hard to see oh

Almost as hard as it is to love me

A runaway

No hands will hold me

I'll always be lonely

Is there someone out there who can break

This habit of going

There's no way of knowing

I promise I'll always be

Your little runaway

I'll be your runaway
