Cam Meekins – Run Away lyrics

Yeah
This ain't a song, uh
Just let it run

Ay yo, I used to know a kid, he was the talk of the town
Everybody always said they love the way he get down
Everyone was counting on him, so he followed his dreams
Hit the gas when he was 18 to hop on the scene
He was a smart one, used to cop ounces to smoke
Growing up, this shit was easy cos' his life was a joke
Never paid to much attention to the chicks and shit
Cos' they was focused on the kids who had the whole package
He was more the type of kid to make a whole bunch of friends
But never really got close cos' his life was a mess
His parents weren't around, they was out getting drunk
So at night he would write and sit there in a funk
He had a dark side, but even worse no one could know
That in-between all the drama it was taking a toll
Everything was catching up and he was super depressed
So he would pray to god at night to please stop this stress

I wanna run away, run away, run away
But I ain't got nowhere to go
So help me slow it down god
Help me slow it down god

So a couple weeks past and he was doing alright
Started talking to this girl, about bout' his life
It was cool cos' she was kinda in the same position
She was new to the town and had someone to listen
They would go out after school and walk around at the pond
He even brought a guitar and said he wrote her a song
She was flattered, told him that she used to get battered
Something sparkled in her eye, he said "It doesn't matter"
Imma' take you over anything the past is the past
They had the first kiss, he walked off and started to laugh
It was weird though, cos' given that she seemed stronger
Had some demons, but he new that she'd been managing longer
So he started falling back and saying "It was all good"
He didn't wanna talk about it even though he should
He was afraid that she'd say that she had been through worse
That he's a cry baby and everybody gon' get hurt
But still

I wanna run away, run away, run away
But I ain't got nowhere to go
So help me slow it down god
Help me slow it down god

I wanna run away, run away, run away
But I ain't got nowhere to go
So help me slow it down god
Help me slow it down god

But one night it was three in the morning and he had woken up
Opened up the curtain and he saw that it was dark as fuck
Snuck past his dad who had fallen asleep
Watching TV downstairs, drinking a cuppa bleach
He walked down to the basement, saw a cabinet
Looked around, laughed a bit, saw the gun, grabbed it
Ran down to the lake where he had hoped to see that see
That she had been there waiting for him, like she was supposed to be
She wasn't there, so he got out his phone
And left a note that read "Why? Why'd you leave me alone?"
As he walked toward the water, she was there like "Wait stop!"
It was too late, he said "I'm running away I can't stop"
And he pulled the trigger...
The loud blast made her ears pop
She started crying and she said "Somebody call the cops!"
But when they got there they looked around the scene
And found two dead bodies, holding hands by the stream
They searched the bodies and they found a small CD
With this beat looped over and the cover said CMP
