Not Me (Runaway) Lyrics

Spent three days in a lead-lined room

Trying to get a signal through

Three weeks waiting for a reply

Or at least an easy way to die

Spent three years on a dead-end street

A blurred-out face on everyone I meet

Running on these faded lines

Biding my time

It wasn't meant for me

That's just not me

Try to find me out

I think you're better off knowing nothing about me

Spent some time trying to find myself

What I found was bad for my health

Not alone, in bad company

That's just the way it's gotta be

And I was spent before I hit the dawn

All I knew was already gone

Losing days stuck in the night

I'm looking for light

It wasn't meant for me

That's just not me

Try to kick me around

But I'm sure you'll find another reason to doubt me

I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running far away from here

I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running far away from here

I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running far away from here

I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running far away from here

Bad ideas burning in my head

Just some dreams are better left in bed

Got caught up in what I didn't know

Got nothing new to show

All I knew was how to play it safe

A little flame knowing its a waste

Got caught up after my desire

To stoke the fire

It wasn't meant for me

That's just not me

Try to keep me around

But now you'll just have to live without me

I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running far away from here

I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running far away from here

I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running far away from here

I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running far away from here
