Running From Me

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I'm stuck with these sinsI'm hoping maybe timeCan resolve themI'm a lying, cheatingThieving cowardWho's trying to follow ChristI'm hoping he can fixThis old dog with new tricks'Cause death is my only deviceYeah, death is my only deviceI said I needed room to breatheI said I needed truth, break freeBut all that's truthThat I was running from youTurns out I was running from meThere's a girlWo lives down my streetShe says the flowersTake care of the beesShe tells me I'm poorAnd my daddy's at warWho's going to take care of me?Now if history is violence and sexI'd rather not pay my respectsIf I've caused offenceIf I'm too directI'm just tryingTo talk some senseI'm politically incorrectI said, I saidI needed room to breatheI said I needed truth, break freeBut all that's truthThat I was running from youTurns out I was running from meRunning away from meRunning away from meI've been givingThis a lot of thoughtWho am I, who on earth is God?The answer ain't kindAnd the reason's fineBut by GodIt's the only answer I gotIt's the only chance I've gotI said I needed room to breatheI said I needed truth, break freeBut all that's truthThat I was running from youTurns outI was running from meIt turns outI was running from meRunning away from meRunning away from me
