Tara St. Michel - Run Away (Inspired by "Descendants: The Rise of Red") Lyrics

A heart of stone
Is all I've ever known
A tyrant to be feared
With no love left to show
Living in her shadow,
I'm a prisoner to my dreams
My reflection at her side
In a future yet to be

My heart says that it's wrong
But I try to be strong

I wish that I could run away (run away run away)
Find a path outside this rigid world
Play the role I wanna play (wanna play wanna play)
A future built on lessons I'll have learned
No need for validation
No trying to please some queen
Beyond here lies salvation
A chance to just be me
Oh I wish that I could run away
And be free

I dream about a life
Outside of wonderland
A world where all my hopes and thoughts
Won't be forever banned
All I ever wanted
Was to be a better me
To see within the looking-glass
The girl I want to be

The heart wants what it wants
So I try to be strong

I wish that I could run away (run away run away)
Find a path outside this rigid world
Play the role I wanna play (wanna play wanna play)
A future built on lessons I'll have learned
No need for validation
No trying to please some queen
Beyond here lies salvation
A chance to just be me
Oh I wish that I could run away
And be free

Though maybe just once she was someone like me
Hopeful and fun with individuality
It's hard to imagine a world where she's sweet
But maybe the past holds much more than I think

I wish that I could change the past
Write a world where love is all I'd known
Won't need to run away at last (away at last away at last)
Or fight against the madness I've called home
No need for validation
No trying to please some queen
A way to find salvation
A chance to just be me
Oh if I could find a way
And be free

If only I could find a way
Then I won't have to run away
To be free
