Song Lyrics

Run Away

by Jennifer Pitcock

Spoken:
You saw her standing alone.
She reminded you of an angel.
She'd done nothing wrong.
What were you thinking?
What were you thinking?
You left behind only memories.
Her story came to a sudden end.
But your story's just beginning--
An eye for an eye, my friend.

Verse One:
Can you remember the way her tears felt?
Can you hear voices calling down the corridor?
Can you hear them cry? Can you hear them scream?
Can you hear them beg for justice?
Can you hear them calling--They're calling out for you.

Don't you worry, they're miles behind you.
But you know you'll have to live your life looking over your shoulder.
You can love no one. You can trust no one.
Your life will never be the same again.
Cause you know they're coming--They're coming after you.

Chorus:
You cannot run.
You cannot hide.
You know they'll find you given time.
No where to turn now,
No one left to blame.
Cause you know they'll catch up to you one day.
Oooh.
Run away.

Verse Two:
You whisper softly, "Oh Lord, please help me."
But even God can't get you out of the mess you've made.
So you live alone, and you'll die alone,
Eternal prisoner of what you've done.
And though the Angels cry, they'll never cry for you.

Chorus:
You cannot run.
You cannot hide.
You never thought you'd fear to die.
No where to turn now,
It's a losing game.
The end will always be the same.
Oooh.
But still, you run away.

(Break)

Chorus:
You cannot run.
You cannot hide.
There's nothing left to justify.
No where to turn now,
No refuge remains.
You took her life, so yours will end today.
Oooh.
There's no where left to run away.
