Song lyrics
I've got my things packed
My favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag
Climb out the window
All the pictures and pain
I've 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

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
You go your way, I'll meet you in hell
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

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

I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These voices trapped 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 my name
God won't you help me run away!

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

I could sing for change
On a Paris street
Be a red light dancer
In New Orleans
I could start again
Choose a 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

I was just trying to be myself
You go your way I'll meet you in hell
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
Life don't make any sense to me
Run away
This life makes no sense to me
Run away
Life don't any sense to me
Run away
Life 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

I still haven't stopped listening to this.
And this is my favorite part:
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

I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These voices trapped 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 my name
God won't you help me run away!

I have to copy what's been said by others:
My favorite part is:
'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'

The lyrics is so strong, it deserves the highest possible score.
Pink is so good at getting emotions in the lyrics, down on paper, into music and out to everyone.

This song is just so touching.

I like this song because I feel as though I connect with it. I always wish I'd had the guts to run away, just for a bit to sort myself out, but now, whenever I feel like leaving I put on this song at full volume, barricade my door and yell along. Loudly and out of tune. It's a great form of therapy. It's helped me loads. Especially when I feel surpressed. Thumbs up to Pink!! Bye bye!

i know how she feels......
it crossed my mind so many time
and i even tried it a couple [dozen] of times
but we can't choose the family we are born in to.....all we can do is learn from their mistakes and hope we won't have to go through the same hell all over again
