[Verse 1]
She falls apart by herself
No one's there to talk or understand
Feels the sting, dries her eyes
Finds herself, opens the door, and sighs

[Pre-Chorus 1]
People see right through you
Everyone who knew you well
Falls apart, might as well
Day is long and nothing is wasted

[Chorus]
Runaway, runaway (runaway, runaway)
Wan' hold on to you but you're goin' away
Runaway, runaway (runaway, runaway)
Wan' hold you tomorrow but you're leavin' today

[Verse 2]
You walk along by yourself
There's no sound, nothing's changin'
They've gone away, left you there
Emptiness is nothin' you can share

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All those words that hurt you
More than you will let it show
Comes apart by yourself
All is well and everything's wasted
[Chorus]
Runaway, runaway (runaway, runaway)
Wan' hold on to you but you're goin' away
Runaway, runaway (runaway, runaway)
Wan' hold you tomorrow but you're leavin' today

[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel around, it scares me some, I can't be down
All this time to be on my own
In is out to be again, this time will waste another friend
I know where they will know, know where they'll runaway, yeah

[Verse 3]
She falls apart no one there
Hold her hand, it seems to disappear
Falls apart, might as well
Day is long and nothing is wasted

[Chorus]
Runaway, runaway (runaway, runaway)
Wan' hold on to you but you're goin' away
Runaway, runaway (runaway, runaway)
Wan' hold you tomorrow but you're leavin' today
Runaway, runaway
Hold on to you but you're goin' away
But you're leavin' today
But you're leavin' today
