RUNNING FROM MYSELF

Mmm

Hmm

Hmmmm

I've been hearing "No" my whole life

Doors keep closing in my face

Too many scars, too many fights

I forgot my own name

Betrayed by love, betrayed by hope

I'm tired of pretending I'm strong

I'm here but I don't feel close

Like my spirit's already gone

I look in the mirror, I don't recognize

The eyes staring back at mine

If I fall tonight, I swear I'll rise

With patience, faith and time

I'm running from myself

Running from myself

Every night, every time, I'm running from myself

I'm running from myself

But I don't wanna run anymore, no

Maybe running from myself

Is how I finally save myself

My heart is wired, my hands are tied

I wanna fly but I'm on the floor

I feel like a slave in my own mind

Waiting to finally live some more

I lose myself in the pain I hide

I smile but inside I'm gone

But I still believe there's more inside

I've been strong for way too long

If God is listening, hear my prayer

I'm tired of drowning in despair

I'll turn my wounds into my power

Just give me strength for one more hour

I'm running from myself

Running from myself

Every fear, every tear, I'm running from myself

I'm running from myself

But I don't wanna run anymore, no

Maybe running from myself

Is how I finally save myself

All these failures... they made me

All these losses... they shaped me

Nothing can break me now

Nothing can hold me down

I was running from myself

Running from myself

But I see a light I never saw before

I was running from myself

But I'm ready to fight for more, yeah

I'll chase that light with everything I have

Even if I don't know what's on the other side

Running from myself

To finally become myself
