Run Away
Trye Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I′m runnin' through, runnin′ through
This jungle, I see faces
I'm looking back at you, back at you
But you won't stop chasing

Don′t make me look back no more
No rearview mirrors here
I′m 'bout to fall if I run through

All these barriers
Don′t make me look back no more

Gonna make me fall down
Don't make me look back no more
No rearview mirrors here
I′m 'bout to fall if I run through
Ooh, no, no, no, run

As I′m runnin' through, runnin' through
This jungle, I see faces
I′m looking back at you, back at you
But you won′t stop chasing

Don't make me look back no more
No rearview mirrors here
I′m 'bout to fall if I run through
All these barriers (barriers)
Don′t make me look back no more

I'm ′bout to fall if I run through
Ooh, no, no, no, run

Gonna make me fall down
Don't make me look back no more

No rearview mirrors here
I'm ′bout to fall if I run through
