Runaway Heart

Turn the lights out, put down that paperback obsession

Some believe the stories other people write

Give in to the night, go to sleep love

Dream about how to make all the world’s wrongs right

You’re up against giants, aim between the eyes dear

Everyone’s got a weak spot, no one’s really ever ready to die

Cut ‘em down to their knees, love, tie them up with a ribbon

They’re gonna lie to you, ‘cause no one knows that they’re the villain

No one knows that they’re the

That bad taste in your mouth is someone else’s fault

You painted the streets with blame one too many times

Close your eyes dear, if you’re afraid to crash

Hands off as the metal bends and snaps

You’re up against giants, aim between the eyes dear

Everyone’s got a weak spot, no one’s really ever ready to die

Cut ‘em down to their knees, love, tie them up with a ribbon

They’re gonna lie to you, ‘cause no one knows that they’re the villain

No one knows that they’re the… Villain 

Runaway heart, no pain to fix

There’s a wreck, my love, stay away from it

Runaway heart, there’s no victims here

There’s a wreck, my love, keep away from it

No one knows that they’re the villain
