1. I've got my things packed, my favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag, climb out the window
All the pictures and pain I left behind
All the freedom and fame
I've gotta find and I wonder
How long it'll take them to notice that I'm gone
And I wonder how far it'll take me

R: To run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me

I was just trying to be myself
Have it your way I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that
I shouldn't tell I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you
Do as you say not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl
I've got to run away

2. I'm too young to be taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe
All this hypocrisy and I wonder
How long it'll take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder if I was a mistake

3. I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped inside my head
Tell me to run before I'm dead
Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive
Maybe the world will know one day
Why won't you help me run away

R: It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away

4. I could sing for change on a Paris street
Be a red light dancer in New Orleans
I could start again to the family
I could change my name come and go as I please
In the dead of night you'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you, wasn't it you
Wasn't it you that made me run away

R: I was just trying to be myself...
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me
Run away
It don't make any sense to me

This life makes no sense to me
It don't make no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Life don't make any sense to me
