Running From Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm stuck with these sins
I'm hoping maybe time
Can resolve them
I'm a lying, cheating
Thieving coward
Who's trying to follow Christ
I'm hoping he can fix
This old dog with new tricks
'Cause death is my only device
Yeah, death is my only device
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth
That I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
There's a girl
Wo lives down my street
She says the flowers
Take care of the bees
She tells me I'm poor
And my daddy's at war
Who's going to take care of me?
Now if history is violence and sex
I'd rather not pay my respects
If I've caused offence
If I'm too direct
I'm just trying
To talk some sense
I'm politically incorrect
I said, I said
I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth
That I was running from you
Turns out I was running from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
I've been giving
This a lot of thought
Who am I, who on earth is God?
The answer ain't kind
And the reason's fine
But by God
It's the only answer I got
It's the only chance I've got
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed truth, break free
But all that's truth
That I was running from you
Turns out
I was running from me
It turns out
I was running from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
La, la, la, la, la, la
Running away from me
