Lyrics:

Tempers burn
Like hot August heat
It slips through the window
and out in the street
They're at it again
A battle of words
So much is said
But nothing is heard

The father with glaring eyes
The daughter who looks aside
The flesh and the bloods the same
But there's so much pain

She sees him as
The angry man
Stuck in his ways
He won't understand
He never knows
The things she feels
It seems that he's there
Just to pay for the bills

Sometimes she knows she's wrong
But she keeps fightin' on
Her words are like poison darts
Piercing His heart

She's a runaway
She won't hear what he has to say
She just turns away
Too proud to find a way
She's a runaway
Oh, oh
Such a runaway

Comes home from
His own kind of world
And finds out he's losing
His little girl
He won't admit
He might run
He's lays down the Law

'Cause he's gotta be strong
It's more than all those years
He's caught in his private fears
His weakness will never show
And she must never know

He's a runaway
He won't hear what she has to say
He just turns away
Too proud to find a way
He's a runaway
Oh, oh
Such a runaway
Such a runaway

They're just runaways
Oh
They're just runaways
What a price to pay
To watch love fade away
They're just runaways

What a price to pay

They're just runaways

Ah
They're just runaways
What a price to pay
What a price to pay
To just fade away
They're just runaways

What a price to pay
Oh, oh, oh
They're just runaways
