Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've got my things packed

My favorite pillow

Got my sleeping bag

Climb out the window

[Verse 2]

All the pictures and pain

I've left behind

All the freedom and fame

I've got to find

[Verse 3]

And I wonder

How long it'll take them to notice that I'm gone

And I wonder how far it'll take me

[Verse 4]

To run away

Life don't make any sense to me

Run away

This life makes no sense to me

Run away

Life don't make any sense to me

Run away

Life don't make any sense to me

[Verse 5]

I was just trying to be myself

You go your way, I'll meet you in hell

It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away

[Verse 6]

It's hypocritical of you

Do as you say not as you do

I'll never be your perfect girl

I've got to run away

[Verse 7]

Well I'm too young to be

Taken seriously

But I'm too old to believe

All this hypocrisy

[Verse 8]

And I wonder

How long it'll take them to see my bed is made

And I wonder

[Verse 9]

If I was a mistake

I might have nowhere left to go

But I know that I cannot go home

These voices trapped inside my head

Tell me to run before I'm dead

[Verse 10]

Chase the rainbows in my mind

And I will try to stay alive

Maybe the world will know my name

[Verse 11]

Why won't you help me run away?

Life don't make any sense to me

Run away

This life makes no sense to me

Run away

[Verse 12]

I could sing for change

On a Paris street

Be a red light dancer

In New Orleans

[Verse 13]

I could start again

Choose a family

I could change my name

Come and go as I please

[Verse 14]

In the dead of night

You'll wonder where I've gone

Wasn't it you

Wasn't it you

Wasn't it you that made me run away

[Verse 15]

I was just trying to be myself

You go your way I'll meet you in hell

All these secrets that I shouldn't tell I've got the run away

It's hypocritical of you

Do as you say not as you do

Never be your perfect girl

[Verse 16]

I've got to run away

Life don't make any sense to me

Run away

This life makes no sense to me

Run away

Life don't make any sense to me

Run away

Life don't make any sense to me

[Verse 17]

This life makes no sense to me

It don't make any sense to me

It don't make any sense to me

Life don't make any sense to me
