Run away my darling run away,
From the solemn man who wants your heart to break,
Though he might seem kind it’s all fake,
He takes what he wants then he throws it away,
Run away my darling run away,
From the feeling that one day he’ll make a change,
Don’t give him your body, don’t give him your faith,
He’ll take what he wants then he’ll throw you away,
He’ll use and abuse you that’s just the game he plays,
Oh how many times has he straddled the line,
Doing what’s wrong and thinking it’s right?
How many times has he left you behind,
Alone in the dirt, bloodied and hurt?
Why would you ever return?
Run away my darling run away,
From the memory of the man who wouldn’t stay,
No he ain’t worth your time and he ain’t worth the pain,
He took what he had then he threw it away,
Oh how many times has he straddled the line,
Doing what’s wrong and thinking it’s right?
How many times has he left you behind,
Alone in the dirt, bloodied and hurt?
Why would you ever return?
Why would you ever return?
When will you ever learn?
