(Music and lyrics: Jason Pawlak)
Poor little runaway
Sold your soul for a sleazy thrill
What price are you willing to pay
To let another man take the wheel
Turned your back to the party girl
And threw your nose up to the sky
You're the center of your little world
And everyone is on your side
You pushed the good ones out
All for appearance sake
Who's gonna be around
If all you ever do is take
Who will be there, to pick up the pieces
Where will you go, when the tears begin to fall
What will you have, when you're deserted by reason
Did you really think you could have it all?
Put your cares and worries to sleep
You know that everybody loves you now
And all the smiles are only skin deep
But it doesn't matter anyhow
Never mind what's right or wrong
And never mind the ones you hurt
And there'll be no one to lean upon
When you're face down in the dirt
You'll never see what's coming
Through the barriers you've made
You'll never stop your running
Don't you see it's just a masquerade
Who will be there, to pick up the pieces
Where will you go, when the tears begin to fall
What will you have, when you're deserted by reason
Did you really think you could have it all?
Poor little runaway

And everyone is on your side
You pushed the good ones out
All for appearance sake
Who's gonna be around
If all you ever do is take
Who will be there, to pick up the pieces
