[Verse 1]
I lost myself that night
I threw it all away
Those are the things I hated
Then I went and caved in
I'm a mess right now
My heart is in two places
Half is back at home
The other's off and racing
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been
Running and running and running and running away
I know they'll catch me
Running and running and running to opposite ways
[Chorus]
I can't let my past catch me now, me now
I can't let my past drag me down, me down
[Verse 2]
I lost myself that night
I threw it all away
Recall my mother's words
But it was far too late
I feel the burden now
It's weighing down my soul
And I can't catch my breath
'Cause these demons follow
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been
Running and running and running and running away
I know they'll catch me
Running and running and running to opposite ways
[Chorus]
I can't let my past catch me now, me now
I can't let my past drag me down, me down (Me down, no)
I can't let my past catch me now, me now (Catch me now)
I can't let my past drag me down, me down
[Bridge]
Swear I've changed
But you don't care that
I'm not the same
You'll always haunt me
I swear I've changed
But you don't care that
I'm not the same
[Chorus]
I can't let my past catch me now, me now (Ooh, ooh)
I can't let my past drag me down, me down
I can't let my past catch me now, me now (Catch me now)
I can't let my past drag me down, me down
