I believed that the world was not on my side
And if I couldn't feel it was all just lies
Had to have all that was true and all that I knew
Right before my eyes
And I never thought I could be someone new

But I felt done
I felt life could never change
And it was dark
So much darker than today
So I, so I
Run, run, I run, I run
Run, run, I run, I run
I always felt I was the loneliest soldier
And I always felt that I battled alone
If I could just flee and close my eyes on it all
Then tomorrow would come and it would be gone
So that's why I
Run, run, I run, I run
Run, I run, I run, run

I wish someone had told me
There is no way to outrun the pain
I wish someone had showed me
That there are some other ways
But maybe I should have known this
Maybe I'm the one to blame
Maybe I was too convinced

But I was done
I felt life could never change
No, dark
So much darker than today
So I, so I
Run, run, I run, I run
Run, run, I run, that's why I run

When I look back I can't believe how I thought that I (Run)
Could shut the door on some things
that I could never hide (I run)
But I only kept running and that's why I run (Run)
Can't believe I've been running for this long (I run)
And I thought I could run forever more (I run)
These are the reasons why I run
