Run Away

I've been beaten and used, lied to, abused
And everytime I's pushed down, pick myself off the ground
Do what I could to turn it all round
But life has a way of coming pound for pound
My self esteem rotting, my mood always faltering
Always a servant and never a king
Til I looked in the mirror and woke up one day

I've been beaten and used, lied to, abused
And everytime I's pushed down, pick myself off the ground
Do what I could to turn it all round
But life has a way of coming pound for pound
My self esteem rotting, my mood always faltering
Always a servant and never a king
Til I looked in the mirror and woke up one day
No longer dwelling on things that were fated
I'm dropping my burdens, no cares that I'm hated
Now one for myself, can't please everybody
Gotta care for myself now, can't always be sorry
Gotta get through this and write out my own legacy
Live my life fully, with the help of this epiphany
Otherwise I've failed, though that's what's most likely
Gonna keep on fighting with the voices, happiness is priority

I used to wanna run away
But fuck it now I'm here to stay
I used to wanna run away
But fuck it now I'm here to stay
I used to wanna run away
But fuck it now I'm here to stay
I used to wanna run away
But fuck it now I'm here to stay

My future is looking
Like nothing but golden
This hand that I'm holding
Is truly the one thing
Keeping me going
And now I ain't slowing
I'm growing, not groaning
The place that I'm going
There's promise, it's snowing
It's thick, like a blanket
Determination, yea, I thank it
It carrying me to a cacophony
My personal, beautiful chaos theory
It sounds like a nightmare but to me it's a dream
The light through the window, it's starting to gleam
Now that I'm living life as a free man
I got no worries, I just got my plan
And I got my future, the palm of my hand
As the journey I've been through is coming to land
I take off my shoes, dig my toes in the sand
I kick back, relax just cus I can

I used to wanna run away
But fuck it now I'm here to stay
I used to wanna run away
But fuck it now I'm here to stay
I used to wanna run away
But fuck it now I'm here to stay
I used to wanna run away
But fuck it now I'm here to stay

I don't know how I get through some days
Other times it just feels like a passing craze
But a lot of the time I feel like I'm stuck in a cave
It's dark, I'm alone and I'm digging my own grave
