Runaway

[Verse 1]
I was born come on the break of spring
Mama told me I got joy to bring
But I got something buried in my soul
Nothing ever seemed to make me whole

I got on my knees and learned to pray
God, if you're the one then I will stay
But I was given wings to fly away
I keep my word as long as I'm okay

[Chorus]
So tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
I'm praying I got something worth the breath it takes to say
And I don't understand why I should get the chance
While in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
When I can't earn this plan

[Verse 2]
I wish that I were better at goodbyes
I don't connect with what would make you cry
I guess there's something different in my head
But I'll pretend I understand instead

You think I found a place where i belong
But nothing keeps me rooted here for long
I'd rather travel to a stranger place
Then recognized as a familiar face

[Chorus]
So tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
I'm praying I got something worth the breath it takes to say
And I don't understand why I should get the chance
While in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
When I can't earn this plan

[Bridge]
I I I I
When I can't earn this plan
I I I-I
And I don't understand
I I I-I
Why I should get this chance
I I I-I

[Verse 3]
I'm afraid of running out of days
Tell me everything will be okay
I think I am better on my own
But mama I'm afraid to die alone
