Lyrics
Been climbing the tallest tree

Running from my problems

But they all catch up to me

And I fall to the bottom

We have our own problems

So why are mine weighing you down

Would it be best if I was a runaway

Let you not worry about me

Pack my bags and I could just leave today

And leave you with no responsibility

Been scaling the highest peak

But I’m still feeling low

And things are becoming bleak

They say that’s just how things grow

We have our own problems

So why are mine weighing you down

Would it be best if I was a runaway

Let you not worry about me

Pack my bags and I could just leave today

And leave you with no responsibility

No matter where I go

My demons follow

I can’t lose them

In all this mayhem

If I stay

I disappoint you

Don’t say it’s not true

If I leave

I’ll find someone new

And burden them too

So would it be best

If I was a runaway?

Trivia
Discography
 * Evans wrote and placed I'm Sorry and Runaway right next to each other, because he feels they show contrast.
 * I'm Sorry is a more sincere apology, while Runaway is a more passive aggressive/sarcastic apology
