Heart Run

[Verse 1]
There's an ick down in my soul and I can't explain it
And I'm tryin' to accept that I just can't change it
But I still want to
I heard someone say they kind of felt like screaming
They were scared that if they did, their friends would leave them
And I feel their pain

[Chorus]
I'm not, not gonna let, not gonna let this heart run from hurt
Not gonna quit, but I wanna quit 'cause it's so much work
I'll let my tears fall down, I've been too scared to love
(Not gonna let) Not gonna let this heart run from hurt

[Verse 2]
There's a reason I don't like to see the signs, I
I don't like how sad yet optimistic I gеt
Do you think that's weird?
My emotions get too much too hard to dеal with
But I lose myself when I hide from my feelings

[Chorus]
So I'm not, not gonna let, not gonna let this heart run from hurt
Not gonna quit, but I wanna quit 'cause it's so much work
I'll let my tears fall down, I've been too scared to love
(Not gonna let) Not gonna let this heart run from hurt

[Bridge]
Back when I was sixteen
In the phase where I would say, "Nobody gets me"
I was convinced that all the honesty was risky
Like nobody was with me
Just a creative kid tryin' to make sense of it
When life got heavy, I wanted to grieve
I thought nobody would let me
But I realized the first time I went to therapy
That was a lie, I didn't have to be scared of me
Letting myself hurt is a part of taking care of me

[Chorus]
So I'm not, not gonna let this heart run from hurt
Not gonna quit, but I wanna quit 'cause it's so much work
I'll let my tears fall down, I've been too scared to love
(Not gonna let) Not gonna let this heart run from hurt

[Outro]
(Not gonna let, ooh-ooh) Not gonna let this heart run from hurt
(Ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh-ooh, let this heart) Run from hurt
