Running Away Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice Apocrypha

0

[LYDIA]
Mama, I could use some wisdom
Gotta make a big decision
Go back where you don't exist
Or onwards into the abyss
I used so much to come this far
Behind the dark inside the stars
Now there's a line to cross, a heavy cost
From here to where you are
Help me out
I'm lost without you standing
Stuck on this impossible road
No idea which way to go
Whichever path I choose I lose, you know
And I don't know which way's home
Daddy ran away from his pain
Do you think I'm doing the same?
You won't believe what I'm about to say
But maybe I'm running away, oh
Have I been running away? Oh
You always saw life as a game
But since you left it sucks to play
I'm beaten up and bruised
Confused by rules that alter every day
I've been through things you won't believe
Invisible inside my dream
I had to drag my dad through hell and back
But finally, he sees
Where to next?
You left but I'm still standing
Scared I'll never see you again
Amazed we’re finally saying your name
Can you believe how far your daughter came?
But this is the wrong damn way
Ma, I got my heart in my hand
Maybe this is part of your plan
To show my dad and I will be okay
And maybe I'm just running away, oh
Am I just running away? Oh
The nothingness in front of us
Is not what she would want for us
[CHARLES & LYDIA]
We'll raise her up
I'll never stop saying her name
Again and again and again
[LYDIA]
I'm gonna go back home!
Mama, I'm letting go
I'm screaming yes into a world of no
I'm over running away
I was the invisible girl
But now I see myself in the world
I know you understand why I can't stay
Mama no more running away, yeah!
Mama no more running away, no
I'm gonna go back home!
Mama no more running away!
