Lyrics Runaway - Zakiah , J.J.

Yeah, yeah
Ah
Yeah, yeah

Playing the roll of the fool, but that's how I like it
Yeah, I cannot bring up the change
I'm losing my guidance
I should be moving alone, just keeping it silent
It's funny how we think the same, with two different mindsets
Thought I done everything that would be keeping us close to
Apparently you been an actress, this is your show tune
Smooth instrumental, words just be clearing my soul through
Manipulate my perception, twist it like Pro Tools
Not gonna lie, I've been living the same
Aye, been stuck in my ways, been keeping my pace
Yeah, you can say that I've been wrong
But I feel like home to you, you should be whipping to me cause I can't let go of you
Been out of pocket, been stuck in one place
But that don't mean nothing, just look at my face
I should runaway with my health, say the word and I'll lose myself
Can't move on, I'll just use your shelf

Runaway, runaway, runaway
Can't move on, I'll just use your shelf
Runaway, runaway, runaway
I should runaway with my health
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway

Runaway cause she can't be helped, hoping, praying you find yourself
Such a pain to see you withheld, trapped inside of those walls you built
Never playing, you know what's real
Been in touch with the way you feel, gave your all cause that was the deal and
Yet you're broken, alone to heal
Have to accept it, guess that we just weren't meant to be tested
Wish there wasn't second guessing, no I don't regret professing
Had to express it, tryna impress you, yeah
But I digress, lotta stuff I've been needing to address
Feelings suppressed, so sick of the mess, it's causing me all kinds of stress
Never again, I don't have it in me to try and defend
All of the lies and repetitive sins
Can't be about you if trust issues keeps you from letting me in
Is this the end? Before we begin, why do I keep wishing we would've been
Fighting the battles we just couldn't win, yet you somehow get up under my skin
Both of us tired from all of the trying, us at our worst makes me feel like I'm dying
Told me to let you go, but I'm defiant
This is ridiculous, why am I crying? Yeah
To tell the truth, I have been missing you
What's a man to do, when he is feeling blue? Runaway from what I'm going through

Runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Yeah
Runaway, runaway, runaway

Counter intuitive way I'm pursuing ya
I needa stop, uh
My heart be flaring up, I cannot move it on
You hold the lock, uh
You build me up, but in the wrong direction
Fill my brain up with contradictions
Stuck it out and now I'm not receptive
Holding out, but the pain is endless
Run away from my faith, run away from this place
Told you that I would wait, but I can't wait all day
No I can't wait all day, no
I've been waiting too long, I've been hearing our song
Too deep now to move on, what have you done to me, thought I was strong
What have you done to me, I think I'm gone
Despite all the pain I'd still give you the world
Lost out at sea, I just wanted a pearl
I know that I'm still in yo' thoughts
I know that you thinking a lot
But honestly think you should leave em
I'm mean honestly, know you mistreated
I can't run from my heart, I done tried it's too hard
You know that I'm too soft, please start playing along
Runaway from him, you was born to live
He just deepens the scars, runaway with me
Run and chase your dreams, promise we can go far

Runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway
Oh yeah
Runaway, runaway, runaway
