[Verse 1]
He's used to getting hurt by all the girls
They try his world for just a season
And now he's got a good girl (Good girl)
And she wants to stay
Ooh, but he's gotta go for his own reasons

[Chorus]
Ooh, he's running (Running, running, running, running away)
Yes, he's running, running away
He's running (Running, running, running, running away)
Ooh, he's running away

[Verse 2]
He says to her (He says to her)
He says it's hard to be (So hard to be true)
True to you and true to me (Listen to your heart)
I hear a voice, it won't stop saying
(Set it free, set it free, set it free, set it free, set it free)
It's saying "I need to set us both free"
(Set it free, set it free, set it free, set it free, set it free)

[Chorus]
Ooh, he's running (Running, running, running, running away)
Hе's running, he's running away
He's running (Running, running, running, running away)
Ooh-ooh, he's running away
[Bridge]
(Hе didn't mean) He didn't mean to break your heart
(To break your heart) Oh, it's eating him up inside
(He didn't mean) He didn't mean to make you cry
(To break your heart)

[Chorus]
(Running, running, running, running away)
Oh, he's running, running away
He's running, yes, he is (Running, running, running, running away)
He's running away
(Running, running, running, running away) Looking for answers he may never find
(Running, running, running, running away) Oh
But what if he never tries?

[Outro]
(Running, running, running, running away) Ready, set, there he goes
Leaving his love for a lonely road
Where's he gonna go where no one knows?
How's he gonna get there? On his toes
(Running, running, running, running away) Ooh, there he goes
Leaving his love for a lonely road
Where's he gonna go where no one knows?
How's he gonna get there? On his toes
He's running (Running, running, running, running away)
Oh, he's running
Yes, he's running, running—
