No one has the right to hurt me
Especially when they say they love me
Apologies don't make anything better
So I'll take my love and my life and leave today
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Run for my life before it comes to an end
I am gonna run far away from here
No more cussing, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you
I have come to my senses and I don't need you
I am gonna run, gonna leave you today
'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
I am gonna run, take my children's hands
We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
I don't even know in which direction I should go
But I'm sure it's the right thing to do
It's time to make a move
The first time I was shoved
I should've been out of the door
But I accepted the apologies, opened myself up for more
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me
I don't have to live this way, I'm leaving you today
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me
I don't have to suffer anymore, I'm walking right out of that door
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Run for my life before it comes to an end
Some of my so-called friends advise me to stick around
They're not the ones getting hurt
Slapped, or beaten down to the ground
They say financial security is hard to come by for a woman like me
And for the children, I need a good home
So I should sacrifice 'til they're grown
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me
I don't have to suffer anymore, I'm walking right out of that door
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me
I don't have to live this way, I'm leaving you today
I am gonna run far away from here
No more cussing, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you
I have come to my senses and I don't need you
I am gonna run, gonna leave you today
'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
I am gonna run, take my children's hands
We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
Now I don't blame myself for the present situation
For this kind of behavior there is no justification
I'm looking ahead to the future, I won't forget the past
I won't repeat this part of my life, it's over at last
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me
I don't have to live this way, I'm leaving you today
Abuses, excuses, abuses, excuse me
I don't have to suffer anymore, I'm walking right out of that door
I am gonna run far away from here
No more cussing, no more fighting, and living in fear
I am gonna run far away from you
I have come to my senses and I don't need you
I am gonna run, gonna leave you today
'Cause I know there's got to be a better way
I am gonna run, take my children's hands
We are leaving this nightmare as fast as we can
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Run for my life before it comes to an end
Run to a shelter, run to a friend
Run for my life before it comes to an end
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
Ooh, better run
