Why do you tell yourself that
You were happy when you're not
Why don't you lie to us both
If it makes you feel better off
Honestly, oh honestly this will never be
Don't blame yourself, oh honestlyWhy don't we runaway
We can leave our problems at the door
Why can't we runaway
We'll turn our back and we'll say goodnightAs those dotted lines move faster
We'll watch the night turn into day
So why don't we runawaySo open your eyes and shut those ears
It's a give and take 'cause you can't please everyone
When it feels like the world has turned their back
And locked their doors, this is feeling impossible
Honestly oh, honestly this will never be
Don't blame yourself oh, honestlyWhy don't we runaway
We can leave our problems at the door
Why can't we runaway
We'll turn our back and we'll say goodnightAs those dotted lines move faster
We'll watch the night turn into day
So why don't we runawayWe've come to grips with all this shit
So what's the point in trying to fix it
We'll tell um' this is how it is
'Cause it was never their life to live
Honestly oh, honestly this will never be
Don't blame yourself oh, honestlyWhy don't we runaway
We can leave our problems at the door
Why can't we runaway
We'll turn our back and we'll say goodnightAs those dotted lines move faster
We'll watch the night turn into day
So why don't we runaway
