[Verse 1]

No, no, I, I, I, I

I don't wanna break when I speak

I don't wanna shake while I'm standing

I don't wanna crawl into another hole

I don't know what I'm hiding for

No, I, I, I, I

I don't wanna fall when I stand

I don't wanna have to hold your hand

I just wanna be the girl I used to be

When I was me and worry-free

And I know these burdens are my own


[Chorus]

But I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away from here

I know that the only way to beat it is by fighting my every fear

I'm not gonna make it 'til I turn around and face it alone, I know

That I can't on keep running

No, I just can't keep on running away

So it stops today


[Verse 2]

So here I am, I'm taking my first step

Thought I was losing balance, but I caught myself

I kind of like the challenge, nope, I don't need help

I am gonna make it past the very start

It's always been the hardest part

But I, I, I, I

I am gonna stay in control

I must admit this crutch is getting old

I am gonna throw it right out of my hand

I'm finally here, I understand

And I know I'll get there on my own


[Chorus]

So I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away from here

(I can't keep on running, I can't keep on running)

I know that the only way to beat it is by fighting my every fear

(I can't keep on running, I can't keep on running)

I'm not gonna make it 'til I turn around and face it alone, I know

That I can't on keep running

No, I just can't keep on running away (I can't keep on running)

So it stops today


[Bridge]

You can hide from all the pain

But it will find you anyway

Yes, I know

Now I know


[Chorus]

That I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away from here

I know that the only way to beat it is by fighting my every fear

I'm not gonna make it 'til I turn around and face it alone, I know

That I can't on keep running

No, I just can't keep on running away (I can't keep on running)

So it stops today
