No one has the right (To hurt me)
Especially when they say (They love me)
Apologies dont make (Anything better)
So i'll take my love and my life (and leave today)
(chorus)
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Better run for my life before it comes to an end
(bridge)
I am gonna run far away from here
No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you
I have come to my senses and I dont need you
I am gonna run gonna leave you today
'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
Im gonna run, take my children's hand
We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
I don't even know, in which direction I should go
but im sure its the right thing to do, its time to make a move.
The first time I was shoved, I shoulda been out the door
but I accepted the spologie, open myself up for more
abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today
abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Some of my so called friends, advised me to stick around
their not the one's getting burned, slapped or beaten down to the ground.
They say financial security is hard to come by for a woman like me,
and for the children, I need a good home, so I should sacrifice until their grown.
abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door
abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today
I am gonna run far away from here
No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you
I have come to my senses and I dont need you
I am gonna run gonna leave you today
'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
Im gonna run, take my children's hand
We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
Now, I don't blame myself for the present situation
for this, kind of behavior, there is no justification
Im looking ahead to the future, I wont forget the past
I wont repeat this part of my life, its over atlast!
abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to live this way, Im leaving you today
abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me!
I don't have to suffer anymore, im walking right out of that door
I am gonna run far away from here
No more cussin, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you
I have come to my senses and I dont need you
I am gonna run gonna leave you today
'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
Im gonna run, take my children's hand
We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Better run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Better run for my life before it comes to an end
