"Runner" lyrics

"Runner"

Born with an innocence, raised in a picket fence
Back when ignorance was bliss
I gave you all of me, the light in my eyes for free
And you sealed my fate with a kiss
And I curse you by name for what I became
And that I couldn't even tell my own mother

Now I'm a runner
I'm a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I'm a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter
A sinner, if fear is the vice
I've loved and lied
I've done my time chasing one heartbreak with another
Now I'm a runner

Keep my heart in a vault, these walls are ten years tall
There ain't footholes to climb 'em
'Cause after it breaks, it just don't beat the same
And I don't even recognize the rhythm

Now I'm a runner
I'm a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I'm a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter
A sinner, if fear is the vice
I've loved and lied
I've done my time chasing one heartbreak with another
Now I'm a runner

A breaker
A cry about it later
I don't give 'cause I once loved a taker
I was a truster
You ripped the rug from under
The feet of a girl who once was a lover

Now I'm a runner
I'm a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I'm a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter
A sinner, if fear is the vice
I've loved and lied
I've done my time chasing one heartbreak with another
Now I'm a runner
Now I'm a runner
