Runaway Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I gave it all to you
Left me exhausted
And the least you can do
Not make me nauseous
Watchin' me watchin' you
I'm deep in quicksand
I'm fallin' into you, I'm into you
Still into you
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilty promises, get me off of this
I'ma freak, freak out
If you let me down, if you let me down
Like a little kid, puffin' up my lips
I'ma freak, freak out
If you let me down, if you let me down
[Chorus]
If it's not in vain, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
If you're not afraid, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
Run away
[Verse 2]
You're like a chemical
Too good, but toxic
Extreme, the highs and lows
Tears like a faucet
As I look back at you
Sinking in quicksand
I'm fallin' into you, I'm into you
Still into you
I gave it all to you
Left me exhausted
And the least you can do
Not make me nauseous
Watchin' me watchin' you
I'm deep in quicksand
I'm fallin' into you, I'm into you
Still into you
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilty promises, get me off of this
I'ma freak, freak out
If you let me down, if you let me down
Like a little kid, puffin' up my lips
I'ma freak, freak out
If you let me down, if you let me down
[Chorus]
If it's not in vain, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
If you're not afraid, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
Run away
[Verse 2]
You're like a chemical
Too good, but toxic
Extreme, the highs and lows
Tears like a faucet
As I look back at you
Sinking in quicksand
I'm fallin' into you, I'm into you
Still into you
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilty promises, get me off of this
I'ma freak, freak out
If you let me down, if you let me down
Like a little kid, puffin' up my lips
I'ma freak, freak out
If you let me down, if you let me down
[Chorus]
If it's not in vain, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
If you're not afraid, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
Run away
If it's not in vain, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away (Run away)
If you're not afraid, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
Run away
[Outro]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, run away
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, run away
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, run away
Na-na-na-na-na-na, run away
Guilty promises, get me off of this
I'ma freak, freak out
If you let me down, if you let me down
Like a little kid, puffin' up my lips
I'ma freak, freak out
If you let me down, if you let me down
[Chorus]
If it's not in vain, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
If you're not afraid, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
Run away
If it's not in vain, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away (Run away)
If you're not afraid, let me hear you say
Something that won't make, make me run away
Run away
[Outro]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, run away
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, run away
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, run away
Na-na-na-na-na-na, run away

What did Hayley Kiyoko say about "Runaway"?
Genius Answer
I don’t want to be let down and if I am, I will spiral. This song is about daring yourself to find someone who won’t trigger you, and to not trigger yourself. So many times we only hear what we want to hear because of the baggage we carry. We’re often too quick to overreact before realizing that if you recognize and confront your own issues, you just might give someone a chance to love you and to make you stay.”
