"Not Running Anymore" lyrics

"Not Running Anymore"

Bless me, Father, I have sinned
I'm not sure where to begin
I won't name names or where I've been
But I've been there and back again

No Hail Marys will save me
You learned to live with memories
Here, slip this c-note up your sleeve
Just stay inside until I leave

I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore

The hands of time may tick no more
Let darkness fall upon this door
No waves to wash up on this shore
I won the fight, but lost the war

I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
And I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore

Yeah, there were roses I have loved
Who've given or have given up
I pushed your patience and my luck
It wasn't love I didn't trust
It wasn't you, or me, or us
You've shouldered ifs and ands, and buts
It's that way, OK, I've said too much

But I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore
