runaway

I was just a poor, young, little ugly thing
Momma kicked me out just shy of 17
I was lookin' for love in the fire, in the flames
But the only way to love is to get yourself hurt
That's how I became a runaway
I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me
He couldn't understand why he wasn't just like me
I should' ve known by the look in his eyes
We looked at the same lies
That's what I realized
No hands will hold me
I'll always be lonely
Is there someone out there who can break
This habit of going
There's no way of knowing
I promise I'll always be
Your little runaway
If you're not careful you'll get your heart broken
Take me as an example, I'll be your token
I used to fall head over feet
With everyone I loved to see with me
So what choice does that leave
A runaway
You could say my shadow is the only friend of mine
But it gets pretty lonely in the night time
My shadow is almost as hard to see, oh
Almost as hard as it is to love me
A runaway
No hands will hold me
I'll always be lonely
Is there someone out there who can break
This habit of going
There's no way of knowing
I promise I'll always be
Your little runaway
I'll be your runaway
