Running from my head

Intro (soft, distant vocals)

Yeah…

I been fightin’ my thoughts again

Tryna outrun my sins

But they faster than I am

⸻

Hook (melodic, emotional — repeat 2x)

I been runnin’ from my head, yeah

Demons talkin’ when I’m layin’ in my bed, yeah

I pour my heart inside these words instead, yeah

If I don’t let it out, I might be dead, yeah

I don’t trust love, I seen how it ends, yeah

Broken mirrors every time I make amends, yeah

I smile outside but I’m hurt within

Tryna heal my soul, where do I begin?

⸻

Verse 1 (melodic rap, introspective)

I been numb since the pain found me

Heart cold, even drugs couldn’t save me

Late nights with the stars all around me

Talkin’ to God like, “Please don’t break me”

Everybody sayin’ that I changed up

They don’t see the weight that I wake up

I loved too hard, got my heart crushed

Now I flinch every time someone say “trust”

I got scars where my heart at

Memories I wish I could delete

I been losin’ friends, losin’ sleep

Tryna make sense of what’s left of me

⸻

Pre-Chorus (build-up, airy harmonies)

I been drownin’ in my thoughts lately

Tryna breathe but my mind won’t save me

If I fall, would you still stay with me?

Or would you leave when it get shaky?

⸻

Hook (repeat, stronger delivery)

I been runnin’ from my head, yeah

Demons talkin’ when I’m layin’ in my bed, yeah

I pour my heart inside these words instead, yeah

If I don’t let it out, I might be dead, yeah

I don’t trust love, I seen how it ends, yeah

Broken mirrors every time I make amends, yeah

I smile outside but I’m hurt within

Tryna heal my soul, where do I begin?

⸻

Verse 2 (darker, more raw)

I been poppin’ pain just to feel okay

Smile for the crowd but I’m not okay

Heart so heavy, feel it in my chest

Tryna outrun death but I’m runnin’ in place

They say time heals, but it lied to me

Every scar still remindin’ me

That the ones I loved switched sides on me

Now I guard my heart like it’s robbery

I talk to ghosts in the dark at night

Wish I could turn back time just once

If love’s a drug, I been overdosed

Still chasin’ highs just to feel some hope

⸻

Bridge (half-time, emotional breakdown)

If I disappear, would you notice me?

If I tell the truth, would you close on me?

I been scream-singin’ all this pain

Hopin’ someone hear what’s inside of me

⸻

Final Hook / Outro (strip beat down, emotional)

I been runnin’ from my head, yeah

Tryna make peace with the things I said, yeah

If I don’t make it, just know I tried

Put my soul in the music every time

Yeah…

Every time…
