Another rock bottom song. I wrote this after a bender ruined my friendship with an old friend. Every time I screw up, I just run away from the situation, and hope I will be able to keep it together in the new place. I’ve moved around a lot throughout my 20s and each time I worry that I’ll manage to...
I keep running
When will I get something right?
Praying I've
Got something waiting for me that’s mine
Guess it wasn’t on the cards this time
Just going out every night
Can’t re-write
These pages in the book of my life
I think I might’ve wrote this many times
But I can’t control who I am
Fix this the one way I can
I’ll run away
I’ll run away but this time be smart
Somewhere to stay
Somewhere I pray that I can restart
‘Cause I don’t
Don’t wanna pay for everything I’ve done in my life
So let my broken heart
Go back to the start
I keep running
Packing a bag in my mind
Fantasise
Of leaving all my worries behind
All my friends would just assume I’m fine
Scared to apologise
In my mind
I’d rather block them out of my life
Than risk exposing how I cheat and lie
But I can’t control who I am
Fix this the one way I can
I’ll run away
I’ll run away but this time be smart
Somewhere to stay
Somewhere I pray that I can restart
‘Cause I don’t
Don’t wanna pay for everything I’ve done in my life
So let my broken heart
Go back to the start
I keep running
