[Verse 1]
Woke up with that same old movie
Playing in the back of my skull
Every scene stuck on replay
Every frame screaming “your fault”
Stare at the ceiling
Heart just racing
Shadow boxing with my past again
Tell myself "move" but I’m frozen
Like I’m glued to who I’ve been
[Chorus]
I wanna run away
Run away
Run away
From everything that tells me I’m useless
Every scar
Every name that I took as truth
I’m gonna tear that story in two
Yeah
I wanna break away
Break away
Break away
From all the blame I carry like steel
If I’m a mess
Then I’m a mess in motion
Running straight toward something that feels like heal
(heal, heal)
[Verse 2]
Every “toughen up” still echoes
Like barbed wire wrapped ‘round my chest
But I’m so sick of breathing shame in
Exhaling “I’m less than the rest”
So I lace my pain up in my boots
Kick the doubt right out of my head
If the past keeps clawing at my back
Let it scratch
I’m walking ahead
[Chorus]
I wanna run away
Run away
Run away
From everything that tells me I’m useless
Every scar
Every name that I took as truth
I’m gonna tear that story in two
Yeah
I wanna break away
Break away
Break away
From all the blame I carry like steel
If I’m a mess
Then I’m a mess in motion
Running straight toward something that feels like heal
(oh, I’m running still)
[Bridge]
Yeah
I’ve bled
On words they said
But I ain’t dead
I’m not their verdict
Yeah
I shake
I bend
I break
But every quake
Cracks something perfect
[Chorus]
I wanna run away
Run away
Run away
From everything that tells me I’m useless
Every scar
Every name that I took as truth
I’m gonna tear that story in two
Yeah
I’m gonna break away
Break away
Break away
Till one day I don’t tighten
I feel
If I’m a mess
Then I’m a work in progress
Every broken piece learning how to heal
(learning how to heal)
