I hit you like a chain, you feel the pain, I ain't coming back
I cut you, cut you deep, 'cause you can't keep up on my track
If I loved you, I'd stick around, you're on the ground 'cause I knocked you down
You're falling every night, and you can't fight but I can hear you pray
I'll stay just one more day
But I always run away
I'm nothing but a runaway
I hooked you with the beat, the heavy heat getting out of hand
And I left you in a lonely bed, what you said made me understand
That if I loved you, I would stay, I'd never stray, never run away
I'd fall down, lonely night, I can't fight but maybe I should pray
Lord, give me the strength to stay
'Cause I always run away
I'm nothing but a runaway
Why can't I just stay in one place?
Somebody gotta put me in a cage
Oh, I don't want to be this way
I'm nothing but a runaway
Nothing but a runaway
Nothing but a runaway
