[Verse 1]
Lying awake, I'm stuck in my own head
Thinking of everything I've done that got me here
I don't know if I can even keep pretending
That I'm happy with the way I am
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could change, I'd change it all
But with every step I fall
Back to the start and start again
The same
[Chorus]
Runnin' away from me
Runnin' to something that I can't see
'Cause it's not who I want to be
But I can't change
So I keep on runnin' away from
The thing that I've always been
The temptation that lies within
Feel it beggin' me to give in
And I can't change
So I'll keep on runnin', runnin' away
[Verse 2]
Every mistake I make, I'm thinking about how I
I do it to myself every single goddamn time
I'm wondering if I'm even worth a try
Or if I'm too far gone to turn back now
[Pre-Chorus]
Sellin' my soul, and bound in chains
So I try to numb the pain
Fillin' the hole that's in my heart
So I stay
[Chorus]
Runnin' away from me
Runnin' to something that I can't see
'Cause it's not who I want to be
But I can't change
So I keep on runnin' away from
The thing that I've always been
The temptation that lies within
Feel it beggin' me to give in
And I can't change
So I'll keep on runnin', runnin' away
[Bridge]
And I know I can't control the things I've been through (Yeah)
I can't begin to
I run away and hide
Never knowing it's myself I'm runnin' into
But I'm still lost in my own lies
[Chorus]
Runnin' away from me
Runnin' to something that I can't see (Ooh)
'Cause it's not who I want to be
But I can't change (Ooh)
So I keep on runnin' away from (Runnin' away)
The thing that I've always been
The temptation that lies within (I can't change, oh no)
Feel it beggin' me to give in
And I can't change
So I'll keep on runnin', runnin' away
[Outro]
Runnin' away from me
Runnin' to something that I can't see
'Cause it's not who I want to be
But I can't change (Ooh)
So I keep on runnin' away from
The thing that I've always been
The temptation that lies within
Feel it beggin' me to give in
And I can't change
So I'll keep on runnin', runnin' away
