Runaway Train Lyrics

I always knew that you were hiding something from me
I always knew you're not what you pretend to be
I always knew that all your lies would come to light one day
But I never knew what it could do to me

My broken heart's become an engine
And my blood is pumping steel
I'm running wild with vengeance
I've lost control of this machine

There's no slowing down now
I'm a runaway train
My pistons are pounding
Brakes are screaming your name
And when there's nothing but wreckage and flames
And your misery is all that remains
I'll feel human again
But I'm a runaway train

I never knew that I could have this kind of power
I never knew that I could be the one to strike
I never knew that all my love could turn to anger so fast
Show me what hatred is like

And now my chest is cold and empty
I've got steel instead of bone
The coals are burning inside me
So don't you dare think I won't

There's no slowing down now
I'm a runaway train
My pistons are pounding
Brakes are screaming your name
And when there's nothing but wreckage and flames
And your misery is all that remains
I'll feel human again
But I'm a runaway train

Red light flashing, gears down
None of that will help you now
Lying face-up on the tracks
Well, you brought it here, no turning back
You brought it here, no turning back

There's no slowing down now
I'm a runaway train
My pistons are pounding
Brakes are screaming your name
And when there's nothing but wreckage and flames
And your misery is all that remains
I'll feel human again
But I'm a runaway train

Metaphorically speaking, our lady has traded in her fragile human heart for a steel engine, powered by anger and vengeance. She's not just moving on; she's barreling down the tracks with no brakes, ready to leave nothing but wreckage in her wake. It's a stark reminder that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...especially when she becomes an iron horse of revenge!
