Runaway

I've been standing at this tree
You know I've longed to taste its fruit
But now what once seemed sweet
Is rotting in my mouth
Can't believe what I have done
Shame creeps inside my chest
And so I turn and run
But I just can't seem to catch my breath

I'm just a runaway
I'm just a runaway

Now I know I can't go back
To the life I left behind
Wish that I could change the past
Oh, but it's over now
Don't want to pay for what I've done
I've got shame inside my chest
So many things I can't outrun
'Cause I just can't seem to catch my breath

I'm just a runaway
I'm just a runaway

But I can hear you say
Yeah, I can hear you say

Oh, give up
My love is a lion
Fierce and free
Relentless and violent
Oh, you know there's no place left to run
