I was down under, hiding all too well When you came crashing through my broken shell Always fear a love like you, so I know what I gotta do Showing no graces when I start to run Stumbling backwards is what I've become Don't need no helping hand, only ashes for what was a man Held my heart, held my soul, you held me back and won't let go Held my breath, held my tongue, as I turned away my only one Running from love And I can't breathe Pain's unfolding deep inside my chest Where my heart's racing where it used to rest How bad I want that kiss, but I know I can't take that risk Held my heart, held my soul, you held me back wouldn't let go So I clawed my way towards the sun as I turned away my only one Running from love And I can't breathe Should it end today Put my fears away I can't live this way Don't wanna be alone 'Cause running on my own Is making me tired So tired of running from love
