Not Running Anymore

Bless me father, I have sinned

I'm not sure where to begin

I won't name names or where I've been

But I been there and back again

No Hail Marys will save me

You learned to live with memories

Here, slip this C note up your sleeve

Just stay inside until I leave

I've been running

Always running

Never have both feet on the floor

And I've been running

Always running

Now I ain't running anymore

The hands of time may tick no more

Let darkness fall upon this door

No waves will wash up on this shore

I won the fight but lost the war

I've been running

Always running

Never have both feet on the floor

I've been running

Always running

Now I ain't running anymore

Yeah, there were roses I have loved

Who've given or have given up

I pushed your patience and my luck

It wasn't love I didn't trust

It wasn't you, or me, or us

You've shouldered ifs, and ands, and buts

It's not that way, okay, I've said too much

But I've been running

Always running

Never have both feet on the floor

But I've been running

Always running

Now I ain't running anymore
