Runner

Born with an innocence Raised in a picket fence Back when ignorance was bliss I gave you all of me The light in my eyes for free And you sealed my fate with a kiss

And I curse you by name For what I became And I couldn't even tell my own mother

Now I'm a runner I'm a bullet right out of a gunner A cutter when I feel the ties I'm a quitter Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter A sinner if fear is the vice I've loved and lied I've done my time Chasing one heartbreak with another Now I'm a runner

Keep my heart in a vault These walls are ten years tall There ain't foot-holes to climb 'em 'Cause after it breaks, it just don't beat the same And I don't even recognize the rhythm

But now I'm a runner I'm a bullet right out of a gunner A cutter when I feel the ties I'm a quitter Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter A sinner if fear is the vice I've loved and lied I've done my time Chasing one heartbreak with another

Now I'm a runner A breaker I cry about it later I don't give 'cause I once loved a taker I was a truster You ripped the rug from under The feet of a girl who once was a lover

Now I'm a runner I'm a bullet right out of a gunner A cutter when I feel the ties I'm a quitter Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter A sinner if fear is the vice I've loved and lied I've done my time Chasing one heartbreak with another Now I'm a runner

Now I'm a runner
