She tells ya she's happy
Right before she walks away
But don't believe her, that's just what she's taught to say
She tells ya needs you
Under cover in the dark
Cause she loves making love but hates to give her heart
She's a runaway
She will leave you
And take your heart away
But she won't mean to
She's everything you think she'd be
But she don't know what she needs
Make you think she's there to stay
But she's a runaway
You do all the right things
But it's not enough somehow
She will take your smile and leave it upside-down
You think that she loves you
But that's meant for someone else
She don't run from you, she's running from herself
She's a runaway
She will leave you
And take your heart away
But she won't mean to
She's everything you think she'd be
But she don't know what she needs
Make you think she's there to stay
But she's a runaway
Don't try and fight
You can't make it right
Born as a bird and now she's learning to fly
Don't be so blind
She's feeding your lines
I only know cause I've already tried
She's a runaway
She will leave you
And take your heart away
But she won't mean to
She's everything you think she'd be
But she don't know what she needs
Make you think she's there to stay
She'll make you think she's there to stay
But she's a runaway
