Running

Well, tell me what you're running from

She said, "Everything and everyone"

Well, tell me what you're running from, what you're running from

Well, tell me what you're running from

'Cause your past, it can't be undone

Oh, tell me what you're running from, what you're running from

Well, she wakes up every morning

Her thoughts weighing heavy on her mind

She's hoping today will be a better day than the ones behind

She's having some trouble getting going

Oh, from the fear she's paralyzed

She puts her face into her hands and then she cries

'Cause she's so tired, she closes her eyes

Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides

And she's so tired, she closes her eyes

Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides

Ooh, yeah

So, tell me what you're running from

She said, "Everything and everyone"

Well, tell me what you're running from, what you're running from

Well, tell me what you're running from, girl

'Cause your past, it can't be undone, no way

Tell me what you're running from, what you're running from

Ooh, yeah

No hope for tomorrow, no hope for today

No hope for anything that comes her way

She's so used to feeling empty inside

No reasons to live, more reasons to die

At least that's what she feels inside

Will she ever find the courage to change

'Cause she's so tired, she closes her eyes

Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides

And she's so tired, she closes her eyes

Trying to live up to a standard that the world provides

Ooh, yeah

Well, she's been running away so long

And she's been running away from home

Will she ever get back, well, I don't know, no, I don't know

And you can see it in her eyes

And you can see it in her smile

Ooh, yeah

Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah

So, tell me what you're running from

She said, "Everything and everyone"

Well, tell me what you're running from, what you're running from

Well, tell me what you're running from, girl

'Cause your past, it can't be undone, no way

Tell me what you're running from, what you're running from

Ooh, yeah

Ooh

Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

She's telling me, telling me, telling me, telling me

She's telling me, telling me, telling me, telling me

She's telling me, telling me, telling me, telling me

She's telling me, telling me, telling me, telling me

She's telling me, telling me, telling me, telling me

She's telling me, telling me, telling me, telling me, yeah

She's telling me, telling me, telling me, telling me

She's telling me, telling me, telling me, telling me, oh

So, tell me what you're running from

She said, "Everything and everyone"

So, tell me what you're running from, what you're running from
