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
