Runnin Away

Verse 1

I married you for life, I said it that night

But I turned promises into sleepless nights

Never planned on fallin’ back into the fight

Runnin away when I couldn’t do right

I left you standin all alone in the life we built

While I drowned myself in sin shame and guilt

Runnin’ from the truth, callin it being free

But it was just me losin’ you as I was losin me

Pre-Chorus

All I can hear is your silence louder than a scream

Like a broken promise inside a dying dream

Chorus

Runnin’ away in my sin and shame

Breakin’ apart what I thought couldn’t break

Now I’m standin’ here, with my heart confused

Confessin’ I was wrong, God gave me a new love for you

Yeah I was lost in the lies I made

Now I’m beggin’ for the love I betrayed

Verse 2

You were cryin’ in the kitchen all alone

While I was out there hard headed like a stone

Every lie I told just went too deep

All because I didn’t feel free

I see your face in every an empty room

Like a song still playin’ an old worship tune

I don’t deserve the grace that you give

I’m still reachin’ for the love that I ditched

Pre-Chorus

I dug this ditch in my selfish hearts plans

Now I’m learnin’ that forgiveness is in His hands

Chorus

Runnin’ away in my sin and shame

Breakin’ apart what could never be the same

Now I’m standin’ here, heart torn in two

Saying I was wrong, I’m comin’ back to you

Yeah I was lost in the fire I made

Now I’m beggin’ for the love that I betrayed

Bridge (slow, raw, blues-punk spoken/sung)

I know I broke what we swore together

A life for the Lord that was gonna last forever

But we now both see it in a different light

Our Love never made it through the fight

Final Chorus (bigger, emotional, pleading)

Runnin’ away in my sin and shame

I broke your heart blew out the flame

Here I am now, with nothing left to hide

Back on my knees with a renewed mind

Yeah I was lost in the mud that I made

But now I’m runnin back’ to the love I betrayed

Outro (soft, broken repetition)

I married you for life…

I married you for life…

That was the plan back in May.
