Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born with an innocence
Raised in a picket fence
Back when ignorance was bliss
I gave you all of me
The light in my eyes for free
You sealed my fate with a kiss
And I curse you by name
For what I became
And I couldn't even tell my own mother
[Chorus]
Now I'm a runner
I'm a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I'm a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter
A sinner if fear is the vice
I've loved and lied
I've done my time
Chasing one heartbreak with another
Now I'm a runner
[Verse 2]
Keep my heart in a vault
These walls are ten years tall
There ain't foot-holes to climb 'em
'Cause after it breaks it just don't beat the same
I don't even recognize the rhythm
[Chorus]
But now I'm a runner
I'm a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I'm a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter
A sinner if fear is the vice
I've loved and lied
I've done my time
Chasing one heartbreak with another
[Chorus]
Now I'm a runner
A breaker
A cry about it later
I don't give 'cause I once loved a taker
I was a truster
You ripped the rug from under
The feet of a girl who once was a lover
[Chorus]
Now I'm a runner
I'm a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I'm a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter
A sinner if fear is the vice
I've loved and lied
I've done my time
Chasing one heartbreak with another
Now I'm a runner
[Outro]
Now I'm a runner
