Running Away

I slip out before first light
The stars will be my guide
I won’t stop, I’ll chase the dark ‘til morning

If you notice that I have gone
It’s nothing that you’ve done
I just realized this world’s not gonna wait for me

I’m running away
You won’t catch up to me
I’m running away
Don’t try to stop me

My feet grow so heavy but
I’ve got to keep moving
The past clings to my heels weighing every step

The heartbreak, the broken dreams
It’s no use repeating
I lay aside the weight and press on straight ahead

I’m running away
You won’t catch up to me
I’m running away
Don’t try to stop me
My heart is beating just like a drum
The road is calling my name, I’m finally free to run
I’ll leave it all behind and just keep breathing

One breath, one step before the next
Breathe in, breathe out with no regrets
I’m fine, this moment’s mine
All of the things that I have done
Are nothing compared to what’s to come
It’s true I’ve made my move
