Runaway

(album: Ilse DeLange - 2018)

You seem so different from everyone
How you fooled me
Your heart was as here and gone as a loaded gun
Quickly fired the pain so deep
No sign of healing
But I took our love so damn seriously
Seriously

You're just a runaway
I thought you'd always stay
But in a moment it got hotter
Your heart was not as honest as I thought it'd be
Yeah, you swore to me
It takes an army to destroy us
But now all that I know is that I'll never change
And you're just a runaway
Ooh

I was as ready as I'd ever been
Open, hopeful, but I
I was torn and tossed to the deepest end
Of endless wishing that I was wrong
That you were better than what you showed me
Keeps on messing with me
It's still messing with me

You're just a runaway
I thought you'd always stay
But in a moment it got hotter
Your heart was not as honest as I thought it'd be
Yeah, you swore to me
It takes an army to destroy us
But now all that I know is that I'll never change
And you're just a runaway
Ooh

From the highest high
To the lowest low
If it's a runaway
You just gotta let him go
Ooh

You're just a runaway
I thought you'd always stay
But in a moment it got hotter
Your heart was not as honest as I thought it'd be
Yeah, you swore to me
It takes an army to destroy us
But now all that I know is that I'll never change
And you stay the same
And it hurts to say
You're just a runaway
Ooh
