[Verse 1] If somebody asked you Everything would be my fault Too loud, too angry An ungrateful child You'd tell them how I left you Like I just walked away But you'd probably forget Who taught me to escape [Pre-Chorus] You taught me how to fight You taught me to hide Told me as a little kid No one cares, so stand alone You made me strong Then blamed me for that Funny how the things you taught me Are the things you say are wrong [Chorus] So I'm still a runaway So many years gone Never turned around Never came back home Maybe I still care Sometimes I miss you Both can still be true I'm still a runaway I keep running But somehow You're still hunting me [Verse 2] We haven't spoken in years I can't hear your shit anymore You blame the whole damn world Before you blame yourself There's always someone guilty There's always someone wrong And somehow in your version It was always someone else all along [Pre-Chorus] You taught me not to need you You taught me not to cry You told me weakness makes you lose So I learned how to survive You made me strong Then blamed me for doing what I want [SCREAM] What the fuck did you expect? You raised me to move on [Chorus] So I'm still a runaway Fifteen years away Never turned around Never came back home Maybe I still care Sometimes I miss you Both can still be true I'm still a runaway I keep running But somehow You're still hunting me [Bridge] I'm not good at sentimental shit So here's the truth instead I know you loved me In whatever way you could But loving someone badly Doesn't make the damage good I forgave you for my peace But I never forgot I don't need you And I don't want you back But sometimes you're like A fucking poltergeist Still haunting my head After all this time [Final Chorus] I'm still a runaway Fifteen years away Never turned around Never came back home Maybe I still care Sometimes I miss you That's all you're getting from me I'm still a runaway Still doing what I want You made me good at running— [SCREAM] And I'm never running back.
