RUN AWAY
Moonchild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been trying to
Look the other way
Like we never knew love
Giving you this space
All I′ve got to say stuck
Spinning in my head
I'm done, I′m not gonna pretend no
I should have known it'd be this hard
To let you go, free my heart
The little things drive me insane
I'm not gonna run away no

I′m not gonna run away from our love
I′m not gonna run away from our love
I'm not gonna run away from our love
I′m not gonna run away from our love

Still makes me smile and
I'm not gonna hide it
Learn to love what′s left cause
I'm too tired to fight it
So ready to move on
But not to forget you baby
You meant something to me, more than something

I should have known it′d be this hard
To let you go, free my heart
The little things drive me insane
I'm not gonna run away no

I'm not gonna run away from our love
I′m not gonna run away from our love




I′m not gonna run away from our love
I'm not gonna run away from our love

The lyrics of Moonchild's song "RUN AWAY" express the singer's inner struggle to let go of a love that is no longer working, and her determination to face her emotions and deal with them instead of running away. The first stanza illustrates her initial attempts to avoid the painful memories of love by looking away and giving the person the space they needed. However, she soon realizes that she needs to face her emotions and confront the reality of the situation. The line, "I'm done, I'm not gonna pretend no," shows her willingness to accept the truth and move on.


The second stanza expresses her acknowledgement that letting go of this love is difficult, yet necessary. She recognizes the little things that have been driving her insane and admits that moving on is the best decision for her. Still, she chooses to hold onto the positive moments and not let go of the love that they shared. The line, "Learn to love what's left cause I'm too tired to fight it" indicates her intention to cherish the memories and move forward with her life.

Acting as if our past love never happened


Giving you this space
Allowing you distance and time to process

"Run Away" lyrics

Been tryin' to
Look the other way
Like we never knew, love
Givin' you this space
All I've got to say is stuck
Spinning in my head
I'm done, I'm not gonna pretend

I should have known
It'd be this hard
To let you go
Dream my heart
The little things
Drive me insane
I'm not gonna run away, no-no

I'm not gonna run away from our love
I'm not gonna run away from our love
I'm not gonna run away from our love
I'm not gonna run away, no

Still makes me smile
And I'm not gonna hide it
Learn to love what's left
Cause I'm too tired to fight it
So ready to move on
But not to forgot you baby
You meant somethin' to me
More than somethin'

I should have known
It'd be this hard
To let you go
Dream my heart
The little things
Drive me insane
I'm not gonna run away, no-no

I'm not gonna run away from our love
I'm not gonna run away from our love
I'm not gonna run away from our love
I'm not gonna run away, no

I'm not gonna run away
I'm not gonna run away
I'm not gonna run away
I'm not gonna run away

Neo Soul is one of the best genres hands down.

Yo no sabia que era neo soul pensé que era r&b pero aún así me fascinan.
El último que hicieron les salió un poco de mezcla con hip hop, me gustó mucho....

@bryanlawrence-dj8tp

Neo Soul to me is contemporary jazz and I consider it the absolute APEX OF MUSIC.

@Dude-1689

Then I get into Jazz and end with Deep House and Deep Lounge .... Underground music is it Bro!

The little breath at 1:27 never fails to make me smile. Still loving this 5 yrs later

@Masterm1nd23

I'm happy that I discovered their music recently. I've always been a huge fan of neo soul/jazz. The lead singer sounds like a perfect combination of Erykah Badu, Tweet, and Norah Jones.
