Lyrics and translation
Original
Listen, if you feel alone and you've got to run away from a place called home.
Mama's always out and she don't seem to know you.
Love for the streets and the guys to make love to. Constant reminders you were a mistake.
Backpacks and you're thinking, "Do I wanna run away? " Don't leave, no, don't run away.
Don't leave. What will make you stay?
Don't leave, no, don't run away.
Don't leave.
Can I make you stay?
Listen, if you feel insecure, used and abused, no trust anymore, 'cause I know that you're waiting. Backpack ready, there's no hesitation.
Mom's with a client, so your presence is vacant. Get set, go to your unknown destination.
Twelve years pretending that you have it worked out, when everything you see is mediated, have doubt.
The streets aren't what you're taught in class, 'cause the school doesn't care anymore.
You'll be just another missing kid like before, and your friends weren't your real friends.
They seemed to ignore all your struggles and signs that true friends would look for.
You've been planning this time out for years. I'm gonna ruin it, so dry your tears.
Turn right back around and face your fears. You belong in your home. You're not alone.
Don't leave, no, don't run away.
Don't leave. What will make you stay?
Don't leave, no, don't run away.
Don't leave. Can I make you stay?
Don't leave, no, don't run away.
Don't leave. Can I make you stay?
Don't leave, no, don't run away.
Don't leave. Can I make you stay?
