[Verse 1]
Pipe down, give me a cigarette
There's no use hanging on
Hanging on to a false security
And this motherfucker won't know I'm gone, she said
In the car she was oh so serious
One hug and a kiss goodbye
Look for me when you watch TV
And don't tell a soul if they look for me, she said

[Chorus]
I'm running away
I'm running away

[Verse 2]
By the door watch a two-page novel and
Four years summed up so fast
Hope you're happy with whoever you settle with
And I'm so sorry that it ended like this she said
Can't believе that I'm really doing this
Wish me luck but pleasе don't call
This means more to me than you could ever know
And this town's got nothing left at all, she said

[Chorus]
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
[Bridge]
And I thought that I knew everything
I guess I didn't know much at all
In my mind I know I'd never do that again
All alone with a bunch of memories
I'm living by a constant tragedy
And a bunch of pictures that I know my mind can't carry there alone

[Verse 3]
Pick me up outside the fire escape
We can catch the midnight train
Sell your car, we won't need it anyway
And if we can't walk, we can always run, she said
Left a note on a bad that was never made
Read more like a thank you card
I know you're there if I ever need anyone
And I'm so sorry that I let you down, I said

[Chorus]
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away
