Running
Embracing Authenticity: Breaking Free from Expectations
Lyrics
I can hear you calling me
I perceive a call directed towards me
Come my child and sit down at my feet
An invitation to approach and listen attentively
You're so tired trying to be
Feeling exhausted from attempting to conform
Everything that everybody wants you to be, I know
Frustration with the pressure to meet others' expectations
So why am I running
Questioning the act of evading someone crucial
From the one I need the most
Expressing a tendency to avoid the most essential person
I keep running
Continuing the pattern of running away
Goin back to what I know
Returning to familiar but potentially detrimental habits
Why am I running
Reiterating the question of why avoidance persists
From the one I need the most
Acknowledging the recurrent evasion of a significant connection
I keep running, running
Emphasizing the persistent and habitual act of running
It's just like me to fall back in my ways
Admitting a tendency to revert to familiar behaviors
Tryin' to find love in all of the wrong the places
Seeking love in the wrong places, facing challenges
But it's not easy to see
Highlighting the difficulty in recognizing the right path
That being who I am is who you want me to be, I know
Understanding that authenticity aligns with desired expectations
So why am I running
Repeating the question of why there's a tendency to run
From the one I need the most
Acknowledging the evasion from a crucial connection
I keep running
Continuing the pattern of avoidance
Goin back to what I know
Returning to familiar, possibly unhealthy, patterns
Why am I running
Reiterating the question of why the evasion persists
From the one I need the most
Continuing the habitual act of running away
I keep running, running
Emphasizing the persistent nature of running
Well I'm not doin the things that I wanna
Not adhering to personal desires and goals
I'm giving up on the man I'm becoming
Abandoning the positive transformation process
And I don't know why
Expressing confusion about the reasons for such actions
I don't know why
Repeating the uncertainty about the motivations
I am scared to death if I'm honest
Admitting fear and vulnerability when truthful
I am just a kid in my heart with a question
Identifying oneself as a person with unanswered questions
Do I belong
Expressing a fundamental desire to belong
Cuz I wanna belong
Affirming the strong need for a sense of belonging
Why am I running
Repeating the question of why the pattern of running continues
From the one I need the most
Acknowledging the evasion from a crucial connection
I keep running
Continuing the pattern of avoidance
Goin back to what I know
Returning to familiar, possibly unhealthy, patterns
Why am I running
Reiterating the question of why the evasion persists
From the one I need the most
Continuing the habitual act of running away
I keep running, running
Emphasizing the persistent nature of running
I keep running
Reiterating the ongoing act of running
So why am I running, running
Posing the question once again
I can hear you calling me
Receiving the call again, inviting reflection
Come my child and sit down at my feet
Repeated invitation to approach and listen
