Run Too Fast

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m running fast, but I’m running from pain, Smiling for the crowd while I’m dancing in the rain. Everybody sees the lights, nobody sees the scars, I’m screaming “I’m good” while I’m falling apart. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m tired of being strong, Maybe I’ve been hiding too long. When the cameras fade away, I don’t know what to say. [Chorus] Speed, why you gotta run so fast? Trying to escape everything in your past. World sees the legend, but nobody knows, How heavy it gets when the whole world grows. Speed, why you gotta run so fast? Speed, why you gotta run so fast? [Verse 2] I keep a grin like a lock on a door, But the silence in my chest keeps asking for more. New city, same face in the mirror I avoid, All these cheers in my ears still leave me destroyed. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m tired of being strong, Maybe I’ve been hiding too long. When the cameras fade away, I don’t know what to say. [Chorus] Speed, why you gotta run so fast? Trying to escape everything in your past. World sees the legend, but nobody knows, How heavy it gets when the whole world grows. Speed, why you gotta run so fast? Speed, why you gotta run so fast? [Bridge] If I slow down, will I disappear? If I face it, will the pain stay near? Take my hand, don’t let me drift, I don’t want to outrun this life I live. [Final Chorus] Speed, why you gotta run so fast? Trying to escape everything in your past. World sees the legend, but nobody knows, How heavy it gets when the whole world grows. Speed, why you gotta run so fast? I’m done outrunning what I feel tonight. Speed, why you gotta run so fast? Maybe I can breathe and still survive.
