Running

Footsteps pounding to the beat of my heart
Wondering if I began with a good start
Glancing at you so I can match your pace
But this isn't just another normal race

Though we've ran before
This time the race is a metaphor

We used to run together
But now you're running away from me
I thought I could keep up with you
And now I'm struggling to breathe
How could I let you get away
Should I have asked you to slow down
I used to see the finish line
But it's nowhere near us now

It's my fault for thinking this could work
It's my fault for not being another jerk
I fell for you, then you let me fall behind
It's hard to follow when the course isn't well-defined

Don't know what else I can do
'Cause I'd rather lose this race than lose you

We used to run together
But now you're running away from me
I thought I could keep up with you
And now I'm struggling to breathe
How could I let you get away
Should I have asked you to slow down
I used to see the finish line
But it's nowhere near us now

A friendly competition turned into an unending race
I miss the smile that once lit up your face
I was getting stitches trying to keep up with you
Now I need stitches for my heart torn in two
I thought that I was trained enough
But I can't compete
I need you by my side to leave the race incomplete
You're the reason I run, the reason I try
Even if the pain in each step is the reason I cry

We used to run together
But now you're running away from me
I thought I could keep up with you
And now I'm struggling to breathe
How could I let you get away
Should I have asked you to slow down
I used to see the finish line
But it's nowhere near us now
I used to see the finish line
But it's nowhere near us now
