ran is the past form of run so run out has several meanings

1.if a supply of sth runs out,it is used up or finished: Time is running out for the trapped miners.

2. if an agreement or a document runs out,it becomes no longer valid

run out(of sth):

to use up or finish a supply of sth: We ran out of fuel. Could I have a cigarette?I seem to have run out.

run out on sb:

To leave sb that you live with,especially when they need your help.
