Run Away
DuSouth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You should've told me
That your heart wasn't in it anymore
You could've told me
That I would be in this all alone
Was your kiss a waste of time
Were your words just a lie
I wish I would've known that your love wasn't here

I can't think about it
Care about it gotta turn the page
I was so game before you, cool without you
It's on to better days
I can move on and close the door
Do it all you showed me just who you are
It'd be stupid to stay here everyday
Go ahead just 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 that it's over
Gotta put my life back together again
I'm movin forward
Don't know where I'm going
Just can't turn back now
I got nothing left to give
Cause you took the best of me
I wish I would've known that your love wasn't here

I can't think about it
Care about it gotta turn the page
I was so game before you, cool without you
It's on to better days
I can move on and close the door
Do it all you showed me just who you are
It'd be stupid to stay here everyday
Go ahead just 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)

Line by Line Meaning

You should've told me
You should have let me know how you felt

That your heart wasn't in it anymore
That you didn't love me anymore

You could've told me
You had the chance to convey your thoughts

That I would be in this all alone
That I would face this by myself

Was your kiss a waste of time
Did you kiss me for nothing?

Were your words just a lie
Did you say things that were untrue?

I wish I would've known that your love wasn't here
I regret not being informed that your love was gone

Now that it's over
Since it's all done and dusted

Gotta put my life back together again
I have to rebuild my life from scratch

I'm movin forward
I'm progressing ahead

Don't know where I'm going
I have no idea where my destination is

Just can't turn back now
I simply cannot retreat

I got nothing left to give
I have no more energy to spend

Cause you took the best of me
Because you took the most significant part of me

I can't think about it Care about it gotta turn the page
I must move on and forget all about it

I was so game before you, cool without you
I used to be very bold and relaxed before you came along

It's on to better days
It's time to look forward to brighter days

I can move on and close the door
I can take a step forward and bid goodbye to the past

Do it all you showed me just who you are
Your actions have made clear what kind of person you are

It'd be stupid to stay here everyday
It would be an unintelligent decision to remain in the same place all the time

Go ahead just Run Away
Kindly leave and don't look back
