Don't play that song for me 'Cause you know that melody only breaks me down I was a queen Who now wears a broken crown
Don't play that honky-tonk 'Cause you know that same old song only makes me cry Times gone by, our love lit up the sky
Our romance hit the neighbourhood Like a hurricane Now I'm left with a broken heart And a telegram
(Chorus:) Runaway, and I thought that you were here to stay But you broke my heart and ran away Runaway Runaway, won't you come on back to me one day Until then I'll hide my heart away
Don't play that song again It hurts to see all my friends on the dancing floor There was a time when we had so much more We shared that melody Now all I have ais a memory of a precious time It's a crime, our words no longer rhyme
Our romance set the world on fire like a burning flame But all that's left is a broken heart And a telegram... (Repeat chorus)
Runaway, you came and stole the sun away All you left me was a rainy day Runaway Runaway, I hope that you'll come back to me one day Until then I'll hide my heart away Runaway... (Repeat chorus and fade)
