Yes. To "run away" means to leave and escape from a person, place or situation. Ex: She ran away from home after a fight with her mother. To "get off" means to avoid punishment. Ex: She got off with a warning from the police. Selena Gomez said in the lyrics "You got off on the hurtin." She means that the person didn't have to feel any pain or negative emotions when leaving her.
