Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun
And I'll see the sun
[Verse 2]
I'd rather run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun
And I'll see the sun
[Verse 3]
You need an instant ease
From your life where you got plenty
Of every hurt and heartbreak
You just take it all to the face
[Verse 4]
I know that you want to cry
But it's much more to life than dying
Over your past mistakes
And people who threw dirt on your name
[Verse 5]
Since ten, I been feeling lonely
Had friends, but they was picking on me
Always thinking, "Why my lips so big?
Was I too dark? Can they sense my fears?"
[Verse 6]
These gay thoughts would always haunt me
I prayed God would take it from me
It's hard for you when you're fightin'
And nobody knows it when you're silent
[Verse 7]
I'd be by the phone
Stanning Nicki morning into dawn
Only place I felt like I belonged
Strangers make you feel so loved, you know?
[Verse 8]
And I'm happy, by the way
That I made that jump, that leap of faith
I'm happy that it all worked out for me
I'ma make my fans so proud of me, oh
[Verse 9]
I wanna run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun
And I'll see the sun
[Verse 10]
I'd rather run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun
And I'll see the sun
[Verse 11]
You need an instant ease
From your life where you got plenty
Of every hurt and heartbreak
You just take it all to the face
[Verse 12]
I know that you want to cry
But it's much more to life than dying
Over your past mistakes
And people who threw dirt on your name
