Running From Me Lyrics

I'm stuck with these sins

I'm hoping maybe time can resolve them

I'm a lying, cheating, thieving coward

Who's trying to follow Christ

I'm hoping he can fix this old dog with new tricks

'Cause death is my only device

Yeah death is my only device



I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed truth, break free

But all that's truth that I was running from you

Turns out I was running from me



There's a girl who lives down my street

She says the flowers take care of the bees

She tells me I'm poor and my daddy's at war

Who's going to take care of me?



Now if history is violence and sex

I'd rather not pay my respects

If I've caused offence

If I'm too direct

I'm just trying to talk some sense

I'm politically incorrect



I said, I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed truth, break free

But all that's truth that I was running from you

Turns out I was running from me



La, la, la, la, la, la

Running away from me

La, la, la, la, la, la

Running away from me



I've been giving this a lot of thought

Who am I, who on earth is God?

The answer ain't kind and the reason's fine

But by God it's the only answer I got

It's the only chance I've got



I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed truth, break free

But all that's truth that I was running from you

Turns out I was running from me

It turns out I was running from me



La, la, la, la, la, la

Running away from me

La, la, la, la, la, la

Running away from me
