The Ballad of the Runaway

Pretty lights have dimmed down in the darkness Pretty lights won't light the way back home Pretty lights won't show me what I need now But without them I feel aimlessly alone I'm not the girl you see in all the photos I'm not the girl you see up on the stage I'm not the girl you see behind the smile But she's got my back, she's my saving grace A wiser man once offered me advice I still resist Runaways can't runaway from loneliness I won't find the answers in the cosmos I won't find the answers in the sea I won't find the answers on the mountain I just hope one day I'll find them in spite of me A wiser man once offered me advice I still deny Runaways can't runaway from what's inside City lights won't vanish all my problems Desert sun won't dry away my tears Distance never made the heart grow fonder I just hope one day that I'll be happy here Oh yes I do, I hope one day that I'll be happy here
