[Verse 1]
Let it in, breathe it out
Exhale the things that I've done
I’m so fucking careful
Weighed down by the undertone
God, I wish I was numb
Familiar burden
[Pre-Chorus]
In a crowd, in a room, you're alone
No matter where you are
I see exit signs, but there's no way out
[Chorus]
I wanna run, I wanna hide
A heart is shaking, hear me breaking
Snaking without making a sound
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No mistaking you’re overtaking
Without me letting my guard down

[Verse 2]
I sense you begin to leave
Oh, I know you're rotten
The one thing I'm certain
Relief as you lose your grip

In a crowd, in a room, you're alone
No matter where you are
I see exit signs, but there's no way out
[Chorus]
I wanna run, I wanna hide
A heart is shaking, hear me breaking
Snaking without making a sound
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No mistaking, you're overtaking
Without me letting my guard down
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this to me?
[Bridge]
Don't wanna freak out
I gotta prevail, I gotta prevail
Don’t wanna freak out
I gotta prevail, I gotta prevail
[Chorus]
I wanna run, I wanna hide
A heart is shaking, hear me breaking
Snaking without making a sound
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No mistaking, you’re overtaking
Without me letting my guard down
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this to me?

Nowhere To Run was produced by Richard “Biff” Stannard.
Melanie C released Nowhere To Run on Fri Oct 02 2020.
I was listening to and getting quite obsessed with Billie Eilish, so I was inspired to look at doing some darker production.
