'Runaway' is the eighth and final track in Eric Nam's all-English album 'Before We Begin'. The song was released on November 14, 2019. Runaway is the English version of his single Korean single which was released four months prior ( Runaway Korean version ). Unlike the original version where the song is about two lovers running away together- the English version talks about his lover leaving him, and how they should keep in mind that he won't take them back if they "run away".
Lyrics
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
[Verse 1]
I could've guessed you would
You're predictable, so predictable
That you don't think I could
Put you out like that, like a cigarette
I gave you everything you ever wanted
You left me behind
Now you wanna come back and jump on it
No, not, not this time
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
[Verse 2]
Keep blowing up my phone
Do you think that I'm picking up this time?
You push and pull me, think you control me, no
But you don't, but you don't
I gave you everything you ever wanted
You left me behind
Now you wanna come back and jump on it
No, not, not this time
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
You could go, you could stay
But you should know
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
You could go, you could stay
But you should know
If you run away, run away
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want
Don't tell me that you want me back
