Runaway Heart

(Verse 1)

I trace the echoes on my skin,

Where your touch still lingers, soft and thin.

A moment's fire I couldn't tame,

Now I'm the only one left in the flame.

I kissed you like I meant forever,

But I ran before we could break together.

Was it fear or was it fate?

I packed my bags before it was too late.

(Pre-Chorus)

I told myself I'm better off alone,

But your ghost is louder than my dial tone.

Every mile I put between us two,

I feel it pulling me back to you.

(Chorus)

I'm a runaway heart, breaking my own,

Crossing state lines just to be alone.

I left you standing in the morning light,

Pretending the wrong felt so right.

But I still hear your name in the dark,

I'm a runaway heart, with a permanent scar.

(Verse 2)

I bump my head against the wall,

Like it'll knock out the memory of it all.

What was I thinking, letting you in?

Letting my guard fall, letting you win?

I thought distance would be my cure,

But I miss you now more than before.

Six months gone, but I still see,

That night like it's haunting me.

(Pre-Chorus)

I told myself I'm better off alone,

But your ghost is louder than my dial tone.

Every mile I put between us two,

I feel it pulling me back to you.

(Chorus)

I'm a runaway heart, breaking my own,

Crossing state lines just to be alone.

I left you standing in the morning light,

Pretending the wrong felt so right.

But I still hear your name in the dark,

I'm a runaway heart, with a permanent scar.

(Bridge)

Maybe you're still out there,

Still chasing a spark in the midnight air.

But I'm too far gone, too scared to see,

If what we had was meant to be.

I left a piece of me on your lips that night,

And no distance can make that feel right.

(Chorus)

I'm a runaway heart, breaking my own,

Crossing state lines just to be alone.

I left you standing in the morning light,

Pretending the wrong felt so right.

But I still hear your name in the dark,

I'm a runaway heart, with a permanent scar.

(Outro)

So I'll run, I'll hide, but it won't change a thing,

You're the song I'll forever sing.

A runaway heart, lost from the start,

But you still own this broken heart.
