"running" lyrics

"running"

How long you been watering down the good news?
All the colors turn into blue
'Til there's nothing left to dilute
Sometimes I just wish that I could pour out
Instead of waiting around
For the other shoe to come down

Did my wings get too wide?
Did I whisper too loud?
Everything that I do's an inconvenience now
I've apologized
Still don't know what about
So, I guess I'll just drive 'til I figure it out, figure it out
(Hate to say I told me so)

But I want to go so far
Follow my stars 'til I find myself again
If he can't meet me, that's on him
I'm gonna keep on running
No slowing down at every green light
Just for his benefit
If he can't keep up, that's on him
I'm gonna keep on running (Running, running)

The cost of staying here is too high
Freedom always comes at a price
So, I guess I'll have to buy mine
Two hearts, two minds
Too many story lines and too much pride
And one good reason I'm getting off the ride

It was supposed to be fun
I know you like the chase
I thought it was love
You thought it was a race
(Hate to say I told me so)

But I want to go so far
Follow my stars 'til I find myself again
If he can't meet me, that's on him
I'm gonna keep on running
No slowing down at every green light
Just for his benefit
If he can't keep up, that's on him
I'm gonna keep on running (Running, running)

'Til the wheels fall off
'Til the road runs out
'Til the good girl's gone
Do you hate me now that I'm running?

But I want to go so far
Follow my stars 'til I find myself again
If he can't meet me, that's on him
I'm gonna keep on running
No slowing down at every green light
Just for his benefit
If he can't keep up, that's on him
I'm gonna keep on running
