Runaway Lyrics by Jay Sean

My Own Way (Deluxe)

2008

[Intro]
Run, run
Run, run
Just wanna run away
Run, run
Just wanna run a- (Run)
Run, run

[Verse 1]
Babe, give me a little space to breathe
Can't you see you're smothering me?
You're like a leopard in a tree
You watch me, you stalk me
Fear is a plague growin' through your veins
Don't you infect me and make me feel the same
I'm going numb from all your chains
Release me, release me, release me
Just release me

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, these walls are closin' in on me
I'm claustrophobic (Hold on)
It's only insecurities girl, and you know it (Hold on)
I need to tell you that girl you're just so (Hold on, hold on)

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run

[Verse 2]
Babe, can I have just one day in peace?
Your constant naggin' is killing me
You're like a record on repeat, 'peat, 'peat, 'peat
Your paranoia makes me ill
It's a disease that slowly kills
Been here before but you do it still
Release me, release me
Just release me, just release me

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, these walls are closin' in on me
I'm claustrophobic (Hold on)
It's only insecurities girl, and you know it (Hold on)
I need to tell you that girl, you're just so (Hold on, hold on)

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Run, run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run (From you)
Sometimes I just wanna run away (Oh; Run, run)
Sometimes I, I just wanna run

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, hold on
These walls are closin' in on me
I'm claustrophobic (Hold on)
It's only insecurities girl, and you know it (Hold on)
I need to tell you that girl, you're just so (Hold on)
Girl you're just so (Hold on)
Girl you're just so (Hold on)

[Outro]
Run, run
Hold on
Run, run
Hold on
Run, run, run
Hold on
Run, run
Hold on
Run, run
