No Longer Running

It’s been on my mind

I could’ve spent my life

Living out a lie

Turning out the lights, so I could hide

Buried in my skin

It’s been wearing thin

Starting shrinking down

Until I found I’m disappearing

It took all of me

Now I’m taking it back

Took a blessing in disguise

To show me what I had

It took all of me

Now I’m taking it back

Letting go of the past

I was callin, callin out for help

I was turning, turning into someone else

I was hiding from everything I felt

But now I’m no longer running from myself

Oh the way I cared

About the things they said

I was terrified they’d see the side

I was protecting

Drowning in my thoughts

But the flowers need to bloom

So I sat real still

And tried to heal these open wounds and

Ittook all of me

Now I’m taking it back

Took a blessing in disguise

To show me what I had

It took all of me

Now I’m taking it back

Letting go of the past

When

I was calling, calling out for help

I was turning, turning into someone else

I washiding from everything I felt

But now I’m no longer running from myself

I was calling, calling out for help

I was faking for the sake of everybody else

I was lying and fighting and putting me through hell

But now I’m no longer running from myself
