Run Away
A.C.N. Double Amp Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're like a drug I can't escape
An endless game of give and take
A voice inside my head I can't forget
Saying things you never meant
Now I can't sleep at night
I fell into your lies
Why can't you let me be
Your ghost it haunts me

Now I've got to
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Try to run but I can't hide
The ghost of you lives in my mind
Now I can't sleep at night
I fell into your lies
Why can't you let me be
Your ghost it haunts me
Now I've got to
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Now I've got to
Run away, run away, run away
Run away, run away from you baby
Run run run run away
Run run run run away

Run away
Run away

You're like a drug I can't escape
You are addictive and I can't get away from you

An endless game of give and take
Our relationship is like a never-ending exchange of favors

A voice inside my head I can't forget

Saying things you never meant
You said things that were insincere
