Runaway

No one understands me,
That's why I'm all alone,
They hated me, I ran away,
But I'm scared, I want to go home.
I want to be home with you Mommy,
No matter how much your words hurt,
I want to be home with you Daddy,
No matter how drunk you were.
I want to be in a safe house,
In my warm comfy bed,
Trying hard to fall asleep
As thoughts race through my head.
Thoughts that I can't hear myself think,
As Mommy and Daddy yell,
Now I remember why I ran away,
My house was a living hell.
So now I sit here on this porch,
Quiet and alone,
I ask the people for some change,
So I can call you from a pay phone.
a lady drops a quarter,
In the cup that's in my hand,
But I've changed my mind, I won't call,
Because you don't understand.
If you had understood me,
I would have never run away,
But Mommy, you never took the time,
To hear what I had to say.
So here we are now Mommy,
Daddy this is your fault too,
I know that you both hate me,
But I know I still love you.
