Run Away Girl Lyrics

please show me there's something wrong
that i don't see in you
some terrible secret flaw that no one could excuse
i've tried to hide you from my mind
and make myself forget
please don't try to stay
we'll only make what's clean a mess

run away girl
run away now
run away girl

the way that you smile at me
isn't helping much at all
please try not to laugh it only makes me want you more
we both know this could never be
but i cant let you go

run away girl
run away now...

what if you thought you saw a ghost
a hundred times a day
what if the thing you wanted most
was impossible to say

run away girl
run away now...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I haven't heard this yet, but I love the lyrics. I gave it 5 stars mainly because of the last verse. That is four of the best lines I have read anywhere. Great writing Dan and Sean.
