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

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

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

A 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
