I believed that the world

Was not on my side

And if I couldn’t feel it

Was all just lies

Oh-oh, yeah

Had to have all that was true

And all that I knew

Right before my eyes

And I never thought

I could be someone new

But I felt done

I felt life could never change

No, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

And it was dark

So much darker than today

So, I

So, I

Run

Run

I run

I run

Run

Run

I run

I run

I always felt

I was the loneliest soldier

And I always felt

That I battled alone

If I could just flee

And close my eyes on it all

Then tomorrow would come

And it would be gone

So that’s why I

(Run)

Run

I run

I run

Run

I run

I run

Run

I wish someone had told me

There is no way to outrun the pain

I wish someone had showed me

That there are some other ways

But maybe I should have known this

Maybe I’m the one to blame

Maybe I was too convinced

But I was done

I felt life could never change

No, dark

So much darker than today

So, I

So, I

Run

Run

I run

I run

Run

Run

I run

That’s why I run

When I look back I can’t believe

How I thought that I

(Run)

Could shut the door on some things

That I could never hide

(I run)

But I only kept running

And that’s why I run

(I run)

Yeah-yeah

(Run)

Can’t believe I’ve been running

For this long

(I run)

And I thought I could run

Forever more

(I run)

These are the reasons

Why I run
