Don't Run
Embrace Love's Stillness: Janessa Evrist's 'Don't Run' Message
Lyrics
I know, you've been searching your soul
Recognizing your quest for self-discovery
You've been crossing that bridge
Attempting to overcome obstacles
Looking for answers, paying that toll
Seeking solutions, facing challenges, and making sacrifices
And I know, that you think being on the run
A belief that constant movement will bring progress
Is gonna get you farther, is gonna make you smarter
Thinking that constant pursuit will lead to improvement
Is gonna make you strong
Believing that this pursuit will build resilience
But love, doesn't ask you to run
Love doesn’t demand you to flee
Doesn't ask you to chase after it
Love doesn’t require chasing
So just let it come
Suggesting to let love come naturally
'Cause you've been wasting all your time
You've spent time inefficiently
Chasing something you won't find
Pursuing something unattainable
You've been wasting all your time
Wasting time on an elusive love
On love that's making you run
Love causing you to flee
So don't run
Advice against running away
So don't run
Reiterating the advice to not run away
Yeah the fear, sometimes brings you to tears
Fear inducing tears
'Cause the words that take so much courage to say
Expressing difficult feelings unheard
Could fall on deaf ears
Fearing lack of reception for heartfelt expressions
So you try, to keep up and impress
Striving to impress but losing hope
But the truth is that you're losing hope
Feeling disheartened and exhausted
And running out of breath
Experiencing fatigue due to relentless pursuit
'Cause you've been wasting all your time
Continued inefficiency in time utilization
Chasing something you won't find
Chasing an unattainable goal
You've been wasting all your time
Wasting time on an elusive love
On love that's making you run
Love causing you to flee
'Cause you've been wasting all your time
Continued inefficiency in time utilization
Chasing something you won't find
Pursuing something unattainable
You've been wasting all your time
Wasting time on an elusive love
On love that's making you run
Love causing you to flee
So don't run
Advice against running away
So don't run
Reiterating the advice to not run away
Just stop
Suggesting to halt the pursuit
'Cause you've been going for so long
Noticing the extended duration of pursuit
And the more you chase after
More chasing leads to more avoidance
Is the more you run from
Escaping more as you chase more
So don't run
Advice against running away
So don't run
Reiterating the advice to not run away
