Run

(Verse 1)

I've met girls my whole life,

They say they've been to places that don’t feel right.

Talkin’ ‘bout adventures, but their eyes don’t match,

Spinnin’ stories like they’re out of a batch.

She says, “I’ve never done that, I’ve never been there,”

But the truth’s a little hazy in the air.

She repeats it ‘til it sounds so smooth,

Like if she says it over and over, is gonna make it true.

(Chorus)

When you meet those girls with shady tales,

You can see through the lies, you know it's bound to fail.

They think sayin’ it again will make it real,

But you know the deal, you know the feel.

So you run, run fast and far,

Get out while you still know who you are.

(Verse 2)

She’s almost got the world figured out, or so she says,

But when you dig deeper, it’s all just a maze.

One minute she’s laughin’, next she’s turnin’ cold,

A heart full of secrets, a mouth full of gold.

Says she’s innocent, but she’s been through the storm,

Denies the past, like it never was born.

She’ll say anything, thinkin’ you’ll believe,

But the truth’s in the air if you just take a leave.

(Chorus)

When you meet those girls with shady tales,

You can see through the lies, you know it's bound to fail.

They think sayin’ it over and over will make it real,

But you know the deal, you know the feel.

So you run, run fast and far,

Get out while you still know who you are.

(Bridge)

Don’t get caught in the webs they weave,

You’re better off to just leave.

You can’t save what’s already gone,

You can’t fix what’s been wrong for too long.

(Chorus)

Then you meet one and you can't help but see,

This girls different and shes not where she's supposed to be.

She's stuck in a very dark place, you can see it on her face,

But you know the deal, you just can't look away from what you feel.

So you run, run fast and far,

with her hand in yours holding tight, both with deep but fading scars.

(Outro)

Run, run fast and far,

Don’t look back, no, don’t you stay,

‘Cause the future is brighter and not that far away.
