[Verse 1]
Down and out
I'm walking round my room
My eyes see your face
It will all blow over soon (soon)
I took my love and shared it 'round the place
I was in love with you, in my eyes I saw your face
Oh, take me back to what was yesterday (take me back)
In this life my love for you remains the same
So I won't cry
[Chorus]
No more running for me
To be truly free, I've got to say what I need
No more running away
My life is in my hands, I've got to face up and stay
No more running for me
To be truly free, I've got to say what I need
No more running away
My life is in my hands, I've got to face up and stay
[Verse 2]
And I do what was done and done from the start
I always knew it was you in my soul and in my heart (you and only you)
Oh baby please don't go, you know you want to stay (stay with me for a while)
But know that if you stay I'll always be this way
So I breathe for a second, let me breathe
Breathe for a second, let me breathe
You gotta just let me
[Chorus]
No more running for me
To be truly free, I've got to say what I need
No more running away
My life is in my hands, I've got to face up and stay
No more running for me
To be truly free, I've got to say what I need
No more running away
My life is in my hands, I've got to face up and stay
[Verse 3]
Who will stand and take the fall, be the one to heed the call
Take the lead, be the one to go and open up the door
Take control of this mess as we push to progress
Strive to get up on to the next step
Oh, but oh, it's hard going when you're low on cash flow
Gotta, gotta, gotta feed the fam, don't wanna look like an asshole
I'm told, "Take your time to go for gold"
But I'm not the type to take when I'm not owed
And so I get busy money, money, minding, my own
Plant my seeds 'round my place so I reap what I sow
And know, know this: my loyalty sticks
Had to learn the hard way to trust in my instincts, so it's
[Chorus]
No more running for me
To be truly free, I've got to say what I need
No more running away
My life is in my hands, I've got to face up and stay
No more running for me
To be truly free, I've got to say what I need
No more running away
My life is in my hands, I've got to face up and stay
No more running for me
To be truly free, I've got to say what I need
No more running away
My life is in my hands, I've got to face up and stay
No...
To be truly free, I've got to stay
