RUNNING - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I'm tired

Of holding on to you, it's time to let

My pride

Go and learn to love myself again, yeah

I don't wanna wait another

Day, I've waited long enough, I'm

Ready, I can see the sun, it's coming up

There's happiness on the horizon

I'm hopeful I can see the light, I've

Hesitated all my life, but I'm all done

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm done runnin' from you

Spent my whole life in your shadow, scared

Of who I'd be if I, yeah

Said goodbye and I didn't have you here

[Chorus]

I wish you well, but I

Can no longer stand aside

And watch you sabotage

The two of us

I love you to dеath, but I

Can't spend the rest of my

Lifе in this darkness, I'm done

[Post-Chorus]

I'm done

(Ooh-ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]

I wish you the best but, I'm not interested

In givin' you more of my life, I've already given you too much

I don't wanna lose ya, I don't wanna keep ya

I know that you mean well, but when I fail, I don't need ya

Rubbin' my face in it and treatin' me like I'm

Less than you, tell the truth, you know I'll be better without ya

Been in your shoes, don't be a fool and try to convince me that I'm the

Real issue when you're the root to every problem, I love you but not e-

-nough to allow you to continue to drown the both of us, you're

Holdin' me back, you're pullin' me down, you're makin' me hate myself, I

Don't wanna leave, but that's what I need, I ain't got a choice, I can't just

Let you deceive and make me believe that I don't deserve to be loved, I (Ayy)

Am not gonna stand aside and watch you attempt to rob and steal and sabotage

What little faith I have left, yeah, haven't I sacrificed enough for you?

Hate seein' you cry, but I think it's time to let go and say our goodbyes

Yeah, I'm gonna miss you, but I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life
