Runaway
A.W. Lyrics

The morning glory poured down on me
It was a new beginning filled with hope and excitement

Stars were in my eyes
I was filled with wonder and possibilities

Desperate, a babe in teens
I was young and didn't know what to do

I was scared to death of what I'd find of
The unknown was terrifying and I didn't know what awaited me

On borrowed beds of nails I wailed and I'd lose control
I was in so much pain and felt helpless

So shamelessly, so starved to be
I was in such a bad place that I was willing to do anything to make it stop

Down this orphan's road
I was alone and had nowhere to turn

If time runs away tomorrow
I'm running out of time and can't afford to waste it

There's nowhere left to hide
I can't run from my problems anymore

To the promised land, the roads I ran
I chased after happiness and fulfillment

But nowhere left to ride
There's no hope left for me

The last runaway tonight has come home
I'm done running and I'm ready to face my problems

And I'm running from the night, oh, from where I roamed
I'm leaving my past behind and starting anew

It was the best days of our lives now
I'm remembering the good times, but they're behind me now

The world was ours to run
I had the power to create my own future

The last runaway tonight, I'm coming home
I'm ready to face my demons and find peace

The price of pride bled down on me
My ego got in the way and caused me pain

And ransomed my soul
I lost sight of what truly mattered and paid the price

A broken boulevard of dreams, like misfits and their broken toys
I failed to realize my dreams and felt like an outsider

A runaway, a slave in chains, I'd lose control
I felt trapped and helpless like a prisoner

So painlessly, so hard to see
I was in so much pain that I didn't realize how lost I was

Down this beggar's road
I had nothing, and it felt like I was going nowhere

In the land of lost and make believe we shiver from the cold
In the darkest moments, we feel alone and scared

Lay down my head, and hear no voices, my face so bold
I needed silence and solitude to find myself

Turned my back and feared redemption, like a thief I stole
I was afraid to face my past mistakes

Escape this place erase my shadow
I wanted to leave everything behind and start anew

Don't wanna lose my soul
I didn't want to compromise my values or morals

And help me Lord to make it
I needed divine guidance to get through this

This weight's too great to lift my soul no more
The burden was too heavy for me to handle alone

Just one last chance to change it
I was willing to do anything to make things right

Give me back the life I can't wait to live
I wanted to live life to the fullest and find happiness

The last runaway tonight, I'm coming home
I'm ready to start again and finally find peace
