Running Away (Feat. Justin Forsyth Plusminus) Testo

Intro:
Sometimes... you just feel like... Running...
Verse 1:
Let me tell you 'bout a boy who seemed ordinary,
but he had some problems at home; it's really sorta scary.
His daddy had a lot of stress and used to get angry
so he'd beat on his kid, sayin' 'Look what u made me do'.
And mama didn't approve... but it's nothin' she could do,
so she had a drinkin' problem with a bottle or two.
The boy's grades started droppin'. School wasn't an option.
He decided to run away to make his problems stop and...
He don't understand...
Now he's livin' on the streets, he found a father figure.
Why he was dealt this hand...
But when he started messin' wit' drugs his problems only got bigger.
Such a lonely road...
Well he got carried away and owed a lot of people money.
The only way to go...
He was contemplating suicide... He started running.
Chorus:
Run... You can't run away from Yourself...
Pretending you're somebody else...
There's always a reason to stay...
And a reason for running away...
Verse 2:
Now let me tell you 'bout a girl from a real nice family.
Money, and everything as perfect as it can be.
Except the kids at school were jealous and made fun of her,
but they had no idea what name-calling had done to her.
She wanted to be popular, she wanted to fit in.
She went and had sex with the football captain.
And after it happened, she regretted what she did,
but it was too late, 'cause she was pregnant with his kid and...
She don't understand...
Her parents weren't havin' it, they said she had to go.
Why She was dealt this hand...
She tried to find somewhere to stay, but her fake friends all said NO!.
Such a lonely road...
And it was over with her boyfriend before it even begun.
The only way to GO!!!
She's contemplating abortion... (abortion..) she had to...
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Now by this point, the boy wanted to give up.
And the girl was about to say 'enough is enough'.
But as fate would have it on this cold and lonely street,
the boy met this girl and that's all he had to see.
It just felt right, (yeah) it was love at first sight.
And suddenly their darkness had turned so bright.
And they realized that they could turn lives around
the boy was determined to make it for his bride and child.
Loved art so he started selling paintings for money.
Yeah they're doin' kinda well now, ain't that funny?
And finally they knew that they could both stop running
'cause together they could take on whatever was coming.
She gave birth to a girl in their beautiful home
who boy thought the world of and raised her as his own.
The most perfect family living under the sun.
See the moral of this story is... you don't have to Run...
(Chorus)
Outro:
There's always a reason to stay... And a reason...
for Running Away...
