[Verse 1]
You been on the run-around, another night, another town, a little week
Don’t get you down, until you fell, and you hit the ground
So you went around the block again, another man, another friend, and little lies
Until you said you better sleep, it’ll never help
So you click your black heels three times, but you never get home
You still lay in his bed, feeling dirty and alone
You toss and turn ’cause you know you gon’ be lost
Lost inside this ghetto fairytale gone wrong

[Chorus 1]
‘Cause you don’t have to run away
You never have to run away
No, you never have to run away
No more
But you don’t wanna be alone
You never wanna be alone
But you know you’re gonna run yourself back home

[Verse 2]
Lover baby on the way, a different girl, a different end
You couldn’t bear to see the face so you left a note that daddy couldn’t stay
But you got nowhere to lay your head, ’cause everywhere you slept is your hair
Your lot of fun, then you got so scared that you had to run
So you click your Amex three times, but you’ll never get home
You spend all of your days living like a rolling stone
And now you wish you had somewhere to belong
Somebody that you could your own
[Chorus 2]
Now you wanna run away
You always wanna run away
You always wanna run away
Hey-hey-hey
You always wanna run away
You always wanna run away
But you know you’re gonna have to change your ways

[Bridge]
Lo, since you sold your soul
Stranger in the mirror
Stand and stare at your dirty shoes
They gonna get you home

[Chorus 3]
‘Cause you don’t have to run away
You never have to run away
No, you never have to run away
No more
But you don’t wanna be alone
You never wanna be alone
But you know you gotta run yourself back home
You have to run yourself back home
He have to run himself back home
She have to run herself back home
You have to run yourself, ya know
