Running Away From You Lyrics - Renaissance

When you get to the top in the small town 

Then you find you got friends you never knew about 

It's five AM but I keep on walkin' 

I can't go home for success has locked me out 

You see my luck went to his head 

He could have kept quiet but instead 

Now everyone knows 

Chorus: 

I'm running away from you 

I'm running away from you 

I'm running away from you 

And your heart 

It started off just a small time scandal 

The people talk and they smile to win your confidence 

Mistaken trust that you took as friendship 

Has let you down when you needed to be up 

Well all the money in the world 

Can't buy the silence of this girl 

So now everyone knows 

Chorus 

And you know that we will always stay 

Lovers in a small town kind of way 

But the high life called you 

I should have known but instead 

Chorus 

Thinking back to when I first met you 

So shy and young as an innocent 

You were number one 

No real desires I just want to be near you 

You took my love, my emotion, then off you ran 

My reputation as your flag 

You held it high I bet you're glad 

That everyone knows 

Repeat chorus to end
