"Running" lyrics

"Running"

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

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

It's just like me to fall back in my ways
Tryin' to find love in all of the wrong the places
But it's not easy to see
That being who I am is who you want me to be, I know

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

Well I'm not doing the things that I wanna
I'm giving up on the man I'm becoming
And I don't know why
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
Cuz I wanna belong

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

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