Lyrics

[Intro] Runnin' away Runnin' away, hey Runnin' away [Verse 1] I had the perfect girl, we'd spend together hours every day You can say that I had it made (Made) And I was all for the commitment But then she started wantin' more from me And my mind began to change Suddenly I didn't feel the same (Same) I didn't know what I was doing [Pre-Chorus] I was dodgin' commitment, start, but don't finish My aim was always the same girl, I know I've been trippin' I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby, just hear me out I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby, just hear me out I wanna show my heart, but I don't know where to start [Chorus] So I keep runnin' With real love in my face, why am I breakin' away? I keep runnin' So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes I keep runnin' When all I really need is you, all I really need is you But I keep on runnin' away (Runnin' away) Hey [Verse 2] I caught a second wind of happiness when I met this girl And then, we became the best of friends We went from half full to half empty I took a detour tryin' to find myself, but I'm on this road again Want out of this box I'm in (Box I'm in) I made it harder to be with me [Pre-Chorus] I was dodgin' commitment, start, but don't finish My aim was always the same girl, I know I've been trippin' I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby, just hear me out I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby, just hear me out I wanna show my heart, but I don't know where to start [Chorus] So I keep runnin' With real love in my face, why am I breakin' away? I keep runnin' So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes I keep runnin' When all I really need is you, all I really need is you But I keep on runnin' away (Runnin' away) Hey [Bridge] I'm 'bout to break down, baby, I'm done No, I can't, keep up runnin' (Runnin') this marathon (This marathon) No need to rest when I already won And if I got you by my side, girl, I already won It's like lookin' for a treasure when it's already mine It don't make sense, don't make sense No matter how hard I try to define I'm comin' face to face with myself I know I don't need, don't need no one else So can somebody tell me where I'm goin' (Goin') So can somebody tell me where I'm goin' (Goin') [Chorus] So I keep runnin' (Hey) With real love in my face, why (Why) am I breakin' away? I keep runnin' So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes I keep runnin' (You're all I need, you're all I need) When all I really need is you, all I really need is you But I keep on runnin' away (Runnin' away) I keep runnin' (Ay) With real love in my face, why, am I breakin' away? (Runnin' away) I keep runnin' So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes I keep runnin' When all I really need is you (All I need), all I really need is you (All I need) But I keep on runnin' away (Runnin' away) Hey [Outro] Runnin' away, runnin' away, hey Runnin' away, runnin' away, hey Runnin' away, runnin' away, hey
