RUNNING Lyrics by NF

HOPE

2023

[Verse 1]
I'm tired
Of holding on to you, it's time to let
My pride
Go and learn to love myself again, yeah
I don't wanna wait another
Day, I've waited long enough, I'm
Ready, I can see the sun, it's coming up
There's happiness on the horizon
I'm hopeful I can see the light, I've
Hesitated all my life, but I'm all done

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm done runnin' from you
Spent my whole life in your shadow, scared
Of who I'd be if I, yeah
Said goodbye and I didn't have you here

[Chorus]
I wish you well, but I
Can no longer stand aside
And watch you sabotage
The two of us
I love you to dеath, but I
Can't spend the rest of my
Lifе in this darkness, I'm done

[Post-Chorus]
I'm done
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]
I wish you the best but, I'm not interested
In givin' you more of my life, I've already given you too much
I don't wanna lose ya, I don't wanna keep ya
I know that you mean well, but when I fail, I don't need ya
Rubbin' my face in it and treatin' me like I'm
Less than you, tell the truth, you know I'll be better without ya
Been in your shoes, don't be a fool and try to convince me that I'm the
Real issue when you're the root to every problem, I love you but not e-
-​​nough to allow you to continue to drown the both of us, you're
Holdin' me back, you're pullin' me down, you're makin' me hate myself, I
Don't wanna leave, but that's what I need, I ain't got a choice, I can't just
Let you deceive and make me believe that I don't deserve to be loved, I (Ayy)
Am not gonna stand aside and watch you attempt to rob and steal and sabotage
What little faith I have left, yeah, haven't I sacrificed enough for you?
Hate seein' you cry, but I think it's time to let go and say our goodbyes
Yeah, I'm gonna miss you, but I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life

[Pre-Chorus]
Runnin' from you
Spent my whole life in your shadow, scared
Of who I'd be if I
Said goodbye and I didn't have you here

[Chorus]
I wish you well, but I
Can no longer stand aside
And watch you sabotage
The two of us
I love you to death, but I
Can't spend the rest of my
Life in this darkness, I'm
Done

[Post-Chorus]
I'm done
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
