lyrics

I've got to run away from everything tonight
I hate this place, I'll get away and I won't return
so say what you want to me
then be at peace when I leave (and I'm leaving)

I've got to run away, I'll disappear for good
I'll leave behind the feelings I've for you, they'll hold me back
and I want you to understand that I am not your man (I'm nothing)

when I am far away, this world will start to fade
you'll find your life is changed when you forget about me

I've got to run away from everything without you
in this auxiliary, another day and I would fall part
to hate the words I'm saying would be to hate me too you know I'm leaving

some distance down the road I will forget you, I won't turn back
watch the shadows lengthen, watch them spin around
watch them lay flat, I'm not coming back
if you wanted me too, know I can't remember you but as some relic from long ago when I was someone else

your soul hardens
your soul hardens
a shell is your arrogance
you know, you knew someone else, someone who would

run away
run away
run away
run away
run away
run away
