Runaway Lyrics

I'm a huge fan of P!nk and I listen to her albums on repeat.

This is just my interpretation;

In this song she is trying to run away from something which causes her pain, but I believe she is really running from herself. 'Wasn't it you that made me run away' is almost a question, trying to shift the blame onto somebody else. I think she is her own worst enemy in this song, but is searching for other people or things to blame her feelings on, not being able to cope with her emotions. Instead, she listened to the voice in her head telling her to 'run before [she's] dead'. She has lost control of her emotions and is searching for a way out of it, a new way of life. This could perhaps relate to the divorce of her parents, as she has referred to in many of her songs. P!nk is not only an artist, but a philosopher. She is deep, but I don't think she realizes it. Although her attitude is rather 'go with the flow', her songs tell a different story. She is very deep, and very complex.
