Lyrics

Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey hey hey
Runnin' away
I had the perfect girl
We'd spend together hours everyday
You'd say that I had it made
And I was all for the commitment
But then she started wantin' more from me
And my mind began to change
Suddenly I didn't feel the same
I didn't know what I was doing
I was dodging commitment
Start but don't finish
My aim was always the same girl
I know I've been trippin'
I'm confessin' I'm confessin'
So baby, just hear me out
I'm confessin' I'm confessin'
So, baby just see me off
I wanna show my heart
But I don't know where to start
So I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey hey hey
I caught a second wind of happiness
When I met this girl and then
We became the best of friends
We went from half full to half empty
I took a detour tryin' to find myself
But I'm on this road again
Want out of this box I'm in
I made it harder to be with me
I was dodging commitment
Start but don't finish
My aim was always the same girl
I know I've been trippin'
I'm confessin' I'm confessin'
So, baby just hear me out
I'm confessin' I'm confessin'
So, baby just see me off
I wanna show my heart
But I don't know where to start
So I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey hey hey
I'm 'bout to break down baby, I'm done
No, I can't keep up runnin' this marathon
No need to rest when I already won
And if I got you by my side
Girl, I already won
It's like lookin' for a treasure when it's already mine
It don't make sense don't make sense
No matter how hard I try to define
I'm comin' face to face with myself
I know I don't need don't need no one else
So can somebody tell me where I'm goin'
So can somebody tell me where I'm goin'
I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey hey hey
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey hey hey
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey hey hey
