Running Away

from Cinderella Fairytales by Prince Pheonix

/

about

A song I wrote on first coming to University and starting a new section of my life, living independently for the first time and leaving all but what I need for Uni at home in another town.

I did have a separate, female vocalist lined up to sing the main vocals on this track, but after a falling out, she's decided to disown me as a friend so, hopefully you'll all agree that she's missed out on something good.

I enjoyed writing this song, full to the brim with synths and electric guitars.

INSIDER INFO: Whilst recording the vocals in the studio, I couldn't help but tap my foot all the way through ^.^ hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

lyrics

(Ru-ru-running away, running away, running away)
(Ru-ru-running away, running away)
Throw it away
(Ru-ru-running away, running away, running away)
Throw it away
(Or if it's the end, is this the end?)

I'm leaving the place that I call home
I'm carving my own road
And I've got baggage on my mind
But I can't deal with it at this time

'Cause I'm running away from all of the pain
All of my problems, I'm throwing away
I'm moving on, starting again
Can't tell if it's the beginning or if it's the end

(Ru-ru-running away, running away, running away)
Throw it away
(Or if it's the end, is this the end?)

I'm leaving the life that I didn't choose
Forgetting all those bad times
There is no reason for me to sing the blues
Now only memories remain

'Cause I'm running away from all of the pain
All of my problems, I'm throwing away
I'm moving on, starting again
Can't tell if it's the beginning or if it's the end

(Ru-ru-running away, ru-running away, ru-running away)
Throw it away
(Running away, running away, or is this the end?)

I'm running away from the pain
The pressure, the choices I made
Regret my decisions? No!
That ain't the way I play the game

Just moving on to greener pastures
Trying to figure out where my heart is
Gotta make sure that I'm focused
Time's running away from me

Don't care where I roam
Where these feet land, that's my home
So long, I got my song
It's all I need to go on

Come along and take a chance
Your futures in your hands
You think you got time?
You only got one life!

'Cause I'm running away from all of the pain
All of my problems, I'm throwing away
I'm moving on, starting again
Can't tell if it's the beginning or if it's the end

(Ru-ru-running away, ru-running away, ru-running away, throw it away)
Or if it's the end
(Running away, running away)
Or if it's the end
(Running away, ru-running away, ru-running away, throw it away)
Or if it's the end
(Running away, running away, or if it's the end)
Or if it's the end
