When you get to the top in the small town |
|
Then you find you got friends you never knew about |
|
It's five am but i keep on walkin' |
|
I can't go home for success has locked me out |
|
You see my luck went to his head |
|
He could have kept quiet but instead |
|
Now everyone knows |
|
Chorus: |
|
I'm running away from you |
|
I'm running away from you |
|
I'm running away from you |
|
And your heart |
|
It started off just a small time scandal |
|
The people talk and they smile to win your confidence |
|
Mistaken trust that you took as friendship |
|
Has let you down when you needed to be up |
|
Well all the money in the world |
|
Can't buy the silence of this girl |
|
So now everyone knows |
|
Chorus |
|
And you know that we will always stay |
|
Lovers in a small town kind of way |
|
But the high life called you |
|
I should have known but instead |
|
Chorus |
|
Thinking back to when i first met you |
|
So shy and young as an innocent |
|
You were number one |
|
No real desires i just want to be near you |
|
You took my love, my emotion, then off you ran |
|
My reputation as your flag |
|
You held it high i bet you're glad |
|
That everyone knows |
|
Repeat chorus to end |
