Hiatt John Runaway Lyrics

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
