lyrics

I RAN AWAY
Can’t face the music or shake off the chains
Been down on my luck I’ve been caught in the rain
All that I want I just can’t seem to say
Can’t get what I need so I’ll be on my way

I was just a kid In my home town Liverpool
You had to learn fast or you’d be played like a fool
I made my mistakes how any man can see
I made my mistakes It was no stranger to me

And didn’t I tell you
I just couldn’t stay
Those glory days
Well that was yesterday
So I ran away

I don’t listen to the preachers or the facts they try to hide
I’ve got no feelings anymore cos I’ve killed my insides
All that I want I just can’t seem to say
Can’t get what I need so I just walk away

And you stole all my luck when I went for the cheap sell
Look down inside there’s no more wishes in the well
I made my mistakes how any man can see
I made my mistakes It was my specialty

And didn’t I tell you
I’d be back one day
And I can’t wait to see you
When I say
I’m coming home today

I don’t have the answers
The questions lost inside
I can’t hold the flood back
Or stop the rising tide
There’s no feeling so alone
When all the tears you got
Where my own

So I ran away
So I ran away
