Run Away
Natalie Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've tried everything I can
To make you see what's right in front of your hands
And I cant fake it
It's taking everything just to make it

You're forcing me out just like a fire
I just cant stand around watching us burn down
And I, I cant control it, fight it, deal with it
I cant explain how much I'm through with this

Run away
Far Away
From the arms of you
You're what I don't need
I've got too much to lose

Better days nights awake
Won't be because of you
I'll take my chances on somebody new
And I'll run away

What makes you feel more like a man
Taking for granted all my love I gave so carelessly
And I, I take it back you don't deserve me
I'll let you go this time it's easy

Run away
Far Away
From the arms of you
You're what I don't need
I've got too much to lose

Better days nights awake
Won't be because of you
I'll take my chances on somebody new
And I'll run away

And when you try to come around I wont be waiting
It's too late to miss me now




Live with your regret and know my heart's not breaking
Can't nobody hold me down

Overall Meaning

In Natalie Taylor's song "Run Away," the singer talks about how she has exhausted all her options in trying to make her partner see that they are taking her for granted. She sings about how she cannot control her emotions anymore and how it is taking everything she has just to make it through. The chorus of the song is a firm plea for her to run away far from the arms of her partner because she does not need them anymore. She explains that she has too much to lose and that she will take her chances with somebody new.


The second verse shows how the partner's actions have affected the singer. It makes her feel unappreciated, and in a line, she says, "What makes you feel more like a man; taking for granted all my love I gave so carelessly." She, however, decides to take control of the situation and take back all the love she had carelessly given. The bridge serves as a warning to her partner, saying that when he tries to come back, she will not be waiting. She advises him to live with his regret and know that her heart is not breaking since nobody can hold her down.
