I've got my things packed, my favorite pillow   Got my sleeping bag, climb out the window   All the pictures and pain, I've left behind   All the freedom and fame, I've gotta find      And I wonder, how long it will take them   To notice that I'm gone   And I wonder, how far it'll take me      To run away, it don't make any sense to me   Run away, this life makes no sense to me   Run away, it don't make any sense to me   Run away, it don't make any sense to me      I was just trying to be myself, have it your way, I'll meet you in hell   It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away   It's hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do   I'll never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away      Well, I'm too young to be taken seriously   But I'm too old to believe all this hypocrisy   And I wonder, how long it will take them to see my bed is made   And I wonder      If I was a mistake, I might have nowhere left to go   But I know that I cannot go home   These words are strapped inside my head   Tell me to run before I'm dead      Chase the rainbows in my mind   And I will try to stay alive   Maybe the world will know one day   Why won't you help me run away      It don't make any sense to me, run away   This life makes no sense to me, run away      I could sing for change on a Paris street   Be a red light dancer in New Orleans   I could start again to the family   I could change my name, come and go as I please      In the dead of night   You'll wonder where I've gone   Wasn't it you, wasn't it you   Wasn't it you that made me run away      I was just trying to be myself, have it your way I'll meet you in hell   All these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away   Hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do   Never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away      It don't make any sense to me, run away   This life makes no sense to me, run away   It don't make any sense to me, run away   It don't make any sense to me      This life makes no sense to me   It don't make any sense to me   It don't make any sense to me   Life don't make any sense to me
