Lyrics:

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]
