Smalltown Boy (Planningtorock's 'The Love That You Need' Rework)

Run away
Turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away

Away, away

You leave in the morning with everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away
Run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away
Run away

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away
Run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away
Run away

Away, away
Away, away

And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them, just to your soul
No, you never cried to them, just to your soul

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away (I was 12 years old when I first heard this song)
Run away (and it had a massive impact on me)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away
Run away (as a young gay, queer, trans person)

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away (and it's still)
Run away (just as relevant today)
Ooh, ooh-ooh (young gay, queer, trans and abandoned kids)
(Are still happened to run away)

The love that you need
The love that you need
The love that you need
The love that you need, that you need
The love that you need
The love that you need, that you need

Away, away
Away

The love that you need (away)
The love that you need (away)
The love that you need (away)
The love that you need, that you need

That you need
The love that you need
The love that you need, that you need
