Runaway
Amber Pacific Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't give you the moment, the chance to be right
I won't save this for tonight
I can't give you the reason, the truth, or the light
But I will keep you in my sight

I can't say that I'm scared as this pain sets me free
I have lived without love, without all that I need
See the marks that I bare, and the shame that runs deep
You have made every moment so worthless to me and
I can't understand this at all

Runaway from this life
Is so far from the things that I know (Won't let go)
Get away from this fight, I don't want to give in or let go
I won't let go

I can't say that I'm proud, as this pain spreads through me
I have said my last words, I have thrown out the keys
I get back to despair, as my eyes fall asleep
Now our dreams come to ends, I am so incomplete and
I can't comprehend this at all

Runaway from this life
Is so far from the things that I know (That I know)
Get away from this fight, I don't want to give in or let go
I won't let go

I can't give you the reason, the truth, or the light
But I will keep you in my sight

Runaway from this life
Is so far from the things that I know
Get away from this fight, I don't want to give in or let go

Runaway from this life
Is so far from the things that I know (Won't let go)




Get away from this fight, I don't want to give in or let go
I won't let go
