I wanna run away
Don’t wanna lie, I don’t want a life
Send me a gun
And I’ll see the sun
I’d rather run away
Don’t wanna lie, I don’t want a life
Send me a gun
And I’ll see the sun
You need an instant ease
From the life where you got plenty
Of every hurt and heartbreak
You just take it all to the face
I know that you want to cry
But it’s much more to life than dying
Over your past mistakes
And people who threw dirt on your name
Since ten, I been feeling lonely
Had friends but they was picking on me
Always thinking why my lips so big?
Was I too dark? Can they sense my fears?
These gay thoughts would always haunt me
I prayed God would take it from me
It’s hard for you when you’re fighting
And nobody knows it when you’re silent
I’d be by the phone
Stanning Nicki morning into dawn
Only place I felt like I belonged
Strangers make you feel so loved, you know?
And I’m happy by the way
That I made that jump, that leap of faith
I’m happy that it all worked out for me
Imma make my fans so proud of me, (ohhhh)
I wanna run away
Don’t wanna lie, I don’t want a life
Send me a gun
And I’ll see the sun
I’d rather run away
Don’t wanna lie, I don’t want a life
Send me a gun
And I’ll see the sun
You need an instant ease
From the life where you got plenty
Of every hurt and heartbreak
You just take it all to the face
I know that you want to cry
But it’s much more to life than dying
Over your past mistakes
And people who throw dirt on your name
oooohhh
hoooahh
unooooh

“Are my lips to big? Am I too dark” holy shit this hurts my heart that poor Lil Nas X looks into the mirror as a lil kid asking himself what’s wrong with him 😭😭😭
-
I am not gay, but can relate to the song so much. I am straight, not even a racial minority here, but had loneliness and pain when I was a child, and maybe still. His kind voice and the lyrics comfort me every time❤
-
im a straight man and yet this brings tears to my eyes people should not suffer for there sexuality i hope this young man gets to see these comments and see how much support there is and for all suffering stand up to them dont let them drag you down from me here in scotland
-
"i know you want to cry but there's much more to life than die"
-
I like how this didn't end with him finding someone to dance with. He decided he was enough. And that's when God mode was activated
-
As the mother of a child that is gay, this hits me so hard. He's gotten picked on so much for who he is, it is heartbreaking. Lil Nas X gives me hope for his fufure.
-
I'm from a country where being gay is unimaginable and I'm not gay but this song makes me realize that it's good to love and accept yourself regardless of what your sexuality is and no matter what bullies say. Find peace in yourself
-
lil nas comin' with a different vibe every time
-
This one hits different
-
The other day I happened to meet lil nas x who was visiting Tokyo. When I nervously approached him, he signed my LA cap and was equally kind to other fans. I am convinced that his songs have the power to transcend not only minorities and majorities, but also gender, race, nationality, and language barriers. I would like to continue to support him from here in Japan. Thanks for the other day, lil nas x! ❤️🔥❤️🔥 From a Japanese fan 🇯🇵❤

2:27 That harmony was (sniffles) so beautiful
-
I love that this talks not just about his inner struggle with his sexuality, but his struggle to accept himself fully, in order to truly love who he is. The part about him talking about his lips and dark skin hurt to hear. No one should be made to feel ashamed of their natural features. I’m glad you are fully embracing and loving the person you are inside Montero. It’s a message that should resonate to people all over the world. To love who we are through and through.
-
“I know you want to cry, but there’s much more to life than dying over your past mistakes” I needed to hear this
-
Am I the only one who cries everytime with this song? is beautiful !
-
I hope he releases another heartfelt song like this soon. This song saved me while I was in the psych ward from trauma bc I found my bf dead and I wanted to kms. We need more songs like this for times like those.
-
He has evolved from a cowboy, to a popular technological god, to vampire, to Santa, to killing Satan, and now an emotional god of time, then he got sent to prison and escaped.
-
The “Ima make my fans so proud of me” you can just hear him smiling
-
"You need an instant ease from your life where you got plenty of everg hurt and heartbreak you just take it all to the face." That line makes me burst into tears everytime i hear it when I'm in my feels
