Runnin' away runnin' away

Hey hey hey runnin' away

I had the perfect girl we'd spend together hours everyday

You'd say that I had it made and I was all for the commitment

But then she started wantin' more from me

And my mind began to change suddenly I didn't feel the same

I didn't know what I was doing

I was dodging commitment start but don't finish

My M.O.'s always the same girl I know I been trippin'

I'm confessin' I'm confessin' so baby just hear me out

I'm confessin' I'm confessin' so baby just see me off

I wanna show my heart but I don't know where to start

So I keep runnin'

With real love in my face

Why am I breakin' away

I keep runnin'

So scared of the heartbreak

So scared of makin' mistakes

I keep runnin'

When all I really need is you

All I really need is you

But I keep on runnin' away

Hey hey hey

I caught my second wind of happiness when I met this girl

And then we became the best of friends we went

From half full to half empty I took a detour tryin' to find myself

But I'm on this road again want out of this box I'm in

I made it harder to be with me

I was dodging commitment start but don't finish

My M.O.'s always the same girl I know I been trippin'

I'm confessin' I'm confessin' so baby just hear me out

I'm confessin' I'm confessin' so baby just see me off

I wanna show my heart but I don't know where to start

So I keep runnin'

With real love in my face

Why am I breakin' away

I keep runnin'

So scared of the heartbreak

So scared of makin' mistakes

I keep runnin'

When all I really need is you

All I really need is you

But I keep on runnin' away

Hey hey hey

I'm 'bout to break down baby I'm done

No I can't keep up runnin' this marathon

No need to race when I already won

And if I got you by my side girl I already won

It's like lookin' for a treasure when it's already mine

It don't make sense don't make sense

No matter how hard I try to define

I'm comin' face to face with myself

I know I don't need don't need no one else

So can somebody tell me where I'm goin'

So can somebody tell me where I'm goin'

I keep runnin'

With real love in my face

Why am I breakin' away

I keep runnin'

So scared of the heartbreak

So scared of makin' mistakes

I keep runnin'

When all I really need is you

All I really need is you

But I keep on runnin' away

I keep runnin'

With real love in my face

Why am I breakin' away

I keep runnin'

So scared of the heartbreak

So scared of makin' mistakes

I keep runnin'

When all I really need is you

All I really need is you

But I keep on runnin' away

Hey hey hey

Runnin' away runnin' away hey hey hey

Runnin' away runnin' away hey hey hey
