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
