"Running" lyrics

He was a loser
Had a lot less than the others at school
His dad was a user
And mommy was scared of the things she could lose
So she worked the night shift
Talking to guys with
All that dirty money, but got caught up in the hype, then
She started shooting
But under poison she knew what to do

Mama said run run run run run
It isn't safe, this is not your home
Boy you gotta run run run run run
Gonna be tough being on your own

But don't stop running
You're gonna feel the fire underneath your feet
But don't stop running
You can take the fight, you can take the heat
When it's harder just believe
I'm every breath you breathe
So don't stop running
Don't stop running
I hope you run further than me

He took the night train
And didn't get off til the end of the track
He went the right way
But all of the voices were holding him back
Saying you don't deserve this
You know you're worthless
Find a couple ways you can numb all the hurting
But he knew the highway
Was only a road leading back to the past

Remember mama said run run run run run
It isn't safe, This is not your home
Boy you gotta run run run run run
Gonna be tough being on your own

But don't stop running
You're gonna feel the fire underneath your feet
But don't stop running
You can take the fight, you can take the heat
When it's harder just believe
I'm every breath you breathe
So don't stop running
Don't stop running
I hope you run further than me

I hope you run further than me
I hope you run further than me
I hope you run further than me
