Runaway Lyrics

 On the outside, a beautiful thing 
 On the inside, a bird with a broken wing 
 Chances taken, now the dark angels circle in the wind 
 You're mistaken, but still you'll do it all again 
   
 As he shakes his fist, somethin' dribbles down his chin 
 Can you live like this 
 Just crawlin' underneath their skin 
   
 CHORUS: 
 Better run...runaway, there is no reason to stay 
 Run...runaway 
 Better run...runaway, fast as these words that I say 
 Run...runaway 
   
 From the ashes you will rise 
 Distant crashes in your eyes 
 Though he's made you into an image of his pain 
 Cut and shaved you 
 Like a prisoner on a train 
 There are broken limbs 
 And tangled power lines 
 No songs like hymns 
 No flowers in the springtime 
   
 REPEAT CHORUS TWICE 
   
 I found your heart on Valentine's Day 
 I tore it apart, with all I do, with all I say 
   
 Just run.... 
   
 Better run....runaway 
 There is no reason to stay 
 Run...runaway 
 You just run...runaway 
 Fast as these words that I say 
 Run...runaway 
 Better run....runaway 
 There is no reason to stay 
 Run...runaway 
 Better run...runaway 
 Fast as these words that I say 
 Run...runaway
