Running Away

As I lay in bed
I think about running away
Gettin out of this house
Somehow, someday

I think of all the bruises
and all the late night fights
and the time I almost killed myself
on that one rainy night

So I pack my bag
and I get ready to leave
I think of it as a goal
that I'm going to achieve

I tip-toe down the hallway
With tears in my eyes
I unlock the front door
and i quietly whisper "Good-bye"

I take my first step
and I head down the street
I walk fairly quickly
Looking down at my feet

I start moving fastrt
Then I begin to run
I think of it as a race
and that I'm number 1

So I'm off on my own
and this world is mine
No, I won't be scared
I'll be just fine
