Why...

She stared out the window, face filled with hate

ashamed and disappointed, thought they were fate

it's too late, she can't forget about this mistake,

this is the last straw, she thought, as she ran away

with the tears running down her eyes, nothing to say

feeling helpless and lost, and completely betrayed

by the one only person who never stood in her way

but now no one to turn to because everything changed

 

Deceived by him once again

but this time he crossed the line much further than before

I don't think he understands

that with one touch tore my innocence and left it on the floor

 

These thoughts will never leave me

wish I could've somehow foreseen this

now the image is burnt into my brain

these thoughts will never leave me

and worse yet no one believes me

they all think that I'm the one to blame

I wanna run away

 

To a better place and a better time

where people can roam freely

a place without swines

I would say let's rewind

but that's not on my mind

cause even in 1959 this happened all of the time

along with the racism and sexism

you would have to be fearsome because almost everyone

ended up as the victim

so the only hope I see is for the future

let's try to fix this culture and teach your kids not to use her

 

Deceived by him once again

but this time he crossed the line much further than before

I don't think he understands

that with one touch tore my innocence and left it on the floor

 

These thoughts will never leave me

wish I could've somehow foreseen this

now the image is burnt into my brain

these thoughts will never leave me

and worse yet no one believes me

they all think that I'm the one to blame

I wanna run away

 

I wanna run away

I wanna run so far away, far away, far away.

 

These thoughts will never leave me

wish I could've somehow foreseen this

now the image is burnt into my brain

these thoughts will never leave me

and worse yet no one believes me

they all think that I'm the one to blame

I wanna run away
