Get away
K-Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been running away from my problems lately
I just gotta fix it but how long will that take me
I've been running away from my problems lately
I just gotta fix it but how long will that take me
Gotta get away
I gotta get a way out
Gotta get away
I gotta get a way out
Gotta get away
I'm tryna hide the pain girl I hate staying in one place
My mind is like a maze
Crumbling to flakes
Everyone I've loved never seems to fucking stay
I got heartbreaks in ashtrays I got no love its cliche
If I could buy your love I swear I'd go broke today
My feelings in decay
Been backstabbed by these snakes
I'ma run away
Start over again maybe change my fucking name
Cause I've got nothing to say (say)
Cause I gotta get away
I've been running away from my problems lately
I just gotta fix it but how long will that take me
I've been running away from my problems lately
I just gotta fix it but how long will that take me
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
I gotta get a way out
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
I gotta get a way out
I gotta get away
I'm sick of feeling pain
I don't wanna think now yeah
And i barely wanna live now
Popping them pills or something else
Flipping that shit just to make some profit
Cannot explain for the cards that i've dealt
Wrapping my head round wonder why I got problems
Since I was 12 I was hating myself
You don't know when I'm gone be a coffin
Devil boy fucking shit up burn my soul
You be a Judas i'm gone be a prophet
I be da one in the coup
I put that gold on my jewel
Eyes on me and what I do
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I've been running away from my problems lately
I just gotta fix it but how long will that take me
I've been running away from my problems lately
I just gotta fix it but how long will that take me
Gotta get away
I gotta get a way out




Gotta get away
I gotta get a way out
