Runaway Lyrics - John Hiatt

On the outside, a beautiful thing 

On the inside, a bird with a broken wing 

Chances taken, now the dark angels circle in the wind 

You're mistaken, but still you'll do it all again 

As he shakes his fist, somethin' dribbles down his chin 

Can you live like this 

Just crawlin' underneath their skin 

CHORUS: 

Better run... runaway, there is no reason to stay 

Run... runaway 

Better run... runaway, fast as these words that I say 

Run... runaway

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

From the ashes you will rise 

Distant crashes in your eyes 

Though he's made you into an image of his pain 

Cut and shaved you 

Like a prisoner on a train 

There are broken limbs 

And tangled power lines 

No songs like hymns 

No flowers in the springtime 

CHORUS TWICE 

I found your heart on Valentine's Day 

I tore it apart, with all I do, with all I say 

Just run... 

Photos 

Better run... runaway 

There is no reason to stay 

Run... runaway 

You just run... runaway 

Fast as these words that I say 

Run... runaway 

Better run... runaway 

There is no reason to stay 

Run... runaway 

Better run... runaway 

Fast as these words that I say 

Run... runaway
