Boy On the Run Lyrics by Murs, El Lif Beatz

Take It Easy My Brother Murs

2023

[Intro]
This goes out to you
And you
And me too
[Verse 1]
I never meant to leave you behind
Guess I thought that you could read my mind
All the mixed signals I was sendin'
They brought about a clear endin'
Woke up early, my bed empty
Without you there, half naked, tryna tempt me
To fall back in, caught back in, you know
Get my shift covered then crawl back in
A little bit taller than me, pussy deep
I mean, just the smell of you would put me to sleep
Days used to pass without notice
You loved me back when I was at my lowest
You brought me up to a nirvana state
But once I realised that, it was kinda late
I can't forget, it's a mission in futility
Even though I got a million other bitches feelin' me
[Chorus]
Said, there once was a boy who couldn't love a woman
So he had to keep runnin'
Said, there once was a boy who couldn't love a woman
So he had to keep runnin'
There was this little boy who couldn't love a woman
So he had to keep runnin'
He ran, far, damn near got caught
But he never forgot
[Verse 2]
Huh, I guess I dodged a bullet
Back when I wanted you, huh, you was on your bullshit
You wanted a roughneck, a homicide suspect
I shot my shot, you shot me down and I was upset
Saw you last night, you wasn't lookin' too hot
Thought that you could do better, but you never should've thought
It's 20 years later, she lookin' so average
I didn't even speak 'cause I'm a motherfuckin' savage
I saw you see me, out the corner of your eye
You didn't walk over 'cause that would've hurt your pride
You could've said "hi", I would've tried to be kind
While I laughed my fuckin' ass off in the back of my mind
Face lookin' weathered, barely holdin' it together
I know you gotta know, that you could've done better
Shit I know I ain't the best, but you, you had your pick, huh
Lightskin, not in the half, and hecka thick
You chose a real cool dude who had no scruples
And drove his mama's Benz back when I was eatin' noodles
You invested in the now instead of plottin' on the future
You opened up your club to a renegade shooter
I was tryna eat your pussy and watch Starship Troopers
Maybe introduce you to a little Kama Sutra
But you came from money, all you wanted was adventure
A random street nigga, and a night to remember
[Chorus]
There once was a boy who couldn't love a woman
So he had to keep runnin'
Said, there once was a boy who couldn't love a woman
So he had to keep runnin'
There was a little boy who couldn't love a woman
So he had to keep runnin'
He ran, far, damn near got caught
But he never forgot
[Outro]
Used to say I would regret it, now I hear you
Starin' at this girl in my rearview
I used to tell you you would regret it, now I hear you
Screamin' at me, in your rearview
