Even with colored lenses, freshly cut, and dyed hair
I shouldn't be in hiding and I shouldn't feel scared
As everyone is looking, I keep looking away
Hoping they don't recognize me so I can
Remain at large from what I did not do
Until what I know is what I can prove
My reputation precedes where I go
But a false truth is all that is told
With no chance to defend myself
I'll seek refuge somewhere else
Not everybody understands the choices that I made
But I wonder how would they react if they were in my place
I would make the same decisions all over again
Which is one of many reasons why I'm moving, so I can
Remain at large from what I did not do
Until what I know is what I can prove
My reputation precedes where I go
But a false truth is all that is known
With no chance to defend myself
I'll seek refuge somewhere else
Past the overload of hurt
There's a breaking point of no return
Where you have to decide
Will it be fight or flight
If I run, I'll look guilty
But there's so much more that you don't see
That I wish I could say
Which is why I'll runaway
To somewhere new where nobody knows
No longer pursued and left alone
