[Intro]
Runnin' away
Runnin' away, hey
Runnin' away
[Verse 1]
I had the perfect girl, we'd spend together hours every day
You can say that I had it made (Made)
And I was all for the commitment
But then she started wantin' more from me
And my mind began to change
Suddenly I didn't feel the same (Same)
I didn't know what I was doing
[Pre-Chorus]
I was dodgin' commitment, start, but don't finish
My aim was always the same girl, I know I've been trippin'
I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby, just hear me out
I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby, just hear me out
I wanna show my heart, but I don't know where to start
[Chorus]
So I keep runnin'
With real love in my face, why am I breakin' away?
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you, all I really need is you
But I keep on runnin' away (Runnin' away)
Hey
[Verse 2]
I caught a second wind of happiness when I met this girl
And then, we became the best of friends
We went from half full to half empty
I took a detour tryin' to find myself, but I'm on this road again
Want out of this box I'm in (Box I'm in)
I made it harder to be with me
[Pre-Chorus]
I was dodgin' commitment, start, but don't finish
My aim was always the same girl, I know I've been trippin'
I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby, just hear me out
I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby, just hear me out
I wanna show my heart, but I don't know where to start
[Chorus]
So I keep runnin'
With real love in my face, why am I breakin' away?
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you, all I really need is you
But I keep on runnin' away (Runnin' away)
Hey
[Bridge]
I'm 'bout to break down, baby, I'm done
No, I can't, keep up runnin' (Runnin') this marathon (This marathon)
No need to rest when I already won
And if I got you by my side, girl, I already won
It's like lookin' for a treasure when it's already mine
It don't make sense, don't make sense
No matter how hard I try to define
I'm comin' face to face with myself
I know I don't need, don't need no one else
So can somebody tell me where I'm goin' (Goin')
So can somebody tell me where I'm goin' (Goin')
[Chorus]
So I keep runnin' (Hey)
With real love in my face, why (Why) am I breakin' away?
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes
I keep runnin' (You're all I need, you're all I need)
When all I really need is you, all I really need is you
But I keep on runnin' away (Runnin' away)
I keep runnin' (Ay)
With real love in my face, why, am I breakin' away? (Runnin' away)
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you (All I need), all I really need is you (All I need)
But I keep on runnin' away (Runnin' away)
Hey
[Outro]
Runnin' away, runnin' away, hey
Runnin' away, runnin' away, hey
Runnin' away, runnin' away, hey
