I can hear you calling me
Come my child
Sit down at my feet
You're so tired trying to be
Everything that everybody wants you to be, I know

Why am I running
From the one I need the most
I keep running
Goin back to what I know
So why am I running
From the one I need the most
I keep running – running

It's just like me to fall back in my ways
Trying to find love
In all the wrong the places
It's not easy to see
That being who I am
Is who you want me to be, I know

Why am I running
From the one I need the most
I keep running
Goin back to what I know
So why am I running
From the one I need the most
I keep running – running

I'm not doin the things that I wanna
I'm giving up on the man I'm becoming
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
I am scared to death if I'm honest
I am just a kid in my heart with a question
Do I belong 'cause I wanna belong

So why am I running
From the one I need the most
I keep running
Goin back to what I know
Why am I running
From the one I need the most
I keep running – running

I can hear you calling me
Come my child and sit down at my feet
