running away
Midnight Hour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't lie and say that it's okay
It's alright yeah, there's nothing more to say

So I'm running away, I'm leaving this place
Yeah I'm running away, I'm running away

Don't tell me I'm the one to blame
It's too late for you to make me stay
No, I won't stay

So I'm running away, I'm leaving this place
Yeah I'm running away, I'm running away

Faster than you can follow me from this lonely place
Farther than you can find me I'm leaving, yeah I'meaving today

I'll never let you find me
I'm leaving you behind with the past, no I won't look back
And I don't wanna hear your reasons
Don't wanna hear you tell me why I should stay
And try, try to understand me
Try to understand what I say when I say I can't stay
And I, I'm moving on from this place
Leaving and I won't when i'm running away





I'm running away, I'm leaving this place
Yeah I'm running away, I'm running away
