the runaway
I was tired of them treating me like a kid 
 Yelling for something else wrong that I did
 No one understands or listens to me
 Children aren't here to be heard but to see 
 I wanted to die to just disappear
 To vanish anywhere else but not here
 I wanted to prove I could last on my own
 To be left by myself to think be alone
 So I packed up my stuff in the midst of the night
 Thinking to myself it will all be alright
 I climbed out my window
 I whispered goodbye
 I said now I'm ready which I knew was a lie
 I didn’t know where I was going
 I didn’t know where I was
 Then three people approached me 
 And held out a gun
 I froze in my tracks couldn’t move couldn’t stay
 Then in the distance I saw a car heading our way 
 Closer and closer the car came to be 
 The others just ran away and left me
 I wanted to leave I wouldn’t let myself dare 
 The next moment both of my parents were there 
 We talked and cried and got in the car 
 I found out that running from life doesn't get you to far
