Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't keep running away from you
Can't keep running away from you
Running, running fast, like I'm out of time
Oh, this world can make you lose your mind
[Verse 2]
Why do I always question myself and all these blessings?
What makes me think I don't deserve the things I want?
[PreChorus]
Doing great, life's fine
That don't mean I'm satisfied
Oh, maybe I'm supposed to have it all
[Chorus]
Can't keep running away from you
Can't keep running away from you
Running, running fast, like I'm out of time
Oh, this world can make you lose your mind
[Verse 3]
Am I masochistic?
Pain is self-inflicted
The day that my guilt dies
Where will my ambition lie?
[PreChorus]
Doing great, life's fine
That don't mean I'm satisfied
Oh, maybe I'm supposed to have it all
[Chorus]
Can't keep running away from you
Can't keep running away from you
Running, running fast, like I'm out of time
Oh, this world can make you lose your mind
[Verse 4]
Fuck survivor's remorse, girl, you a force
Always been a star, can't neglect what you are
There's no in between, it's you or it's you
Don't fail for the sake of failing just 'cause they do
You could try to dim your light, still, you gonna shine bright
Like a tarnished piece of gold, still, the value gon' hold
Going toe-to-toe with my own soul
Damn
[Chorus]
Can't keep running away from you
Can't keep running away from you
Running, running fast, like I'm out of time
Oh, this world can make you lose your mind
[Outro]
La-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la
