Lyrics:

[Intro]
I wanna run, I wanna run away
I wanna run away

[Verse 1]
Tired of excuses
Been all alone since you left me at home
Told myself I could do this
But the truth is
I’ve been, I’ve been out drinking
Get out of mind, been thinkin' 'bout life
Was too much for me
I’m useless (Been thinkin' 'bout life, been thinkin' 'bout life)

[Chorus]
I wanna run away
Run away, run away, run away from love
Run away, run away, run away from us
Run away, run away, run away from love
(Been thinkin' 'bout life, been thinkin' 'bout life)

[Verse 2]
Got me off focus
Been late for work thinkin' how you picked her
All this time you been choosin’
But the truth is
I’ve been livin' with you still
I held you down
And you still messed around
Got tired of excuses (Been thinkin' 'bout life)
Now, what was I thinking?

[Chorus]
I wanna run away
Run away, run away, run away from love
Run away, run away, run away from us
Run away, run away, run away from love
(Been thinkin' 'bout life, been thinkin' 'bout life)

[Bridge]
You were controlling
You were selfish
Hot-tempered, abusive
I let you use me
Talk down to me
Make me feel so useless
I called my brother
Called my mother
No one did believe me
Now I feel stupid
Many years
Stuck with you
And you used me

[Chorus]
I wanna run away
Run away, run away, run away from love
Run away, run away, run away from us
Run away, run away, run away from love
(Been thinkin' 'bout life, been thinkin' 'bout life)

[Outro]
(Been thinkin' 'bout life, been thinkin' 'bout life)
I wanna run, I wanna run away
(Been thinkin' 'bout life, been thinkin' 'bout life)
Run away
