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
