Lyrics

I grew up in the shadow of grace
Quiet thunder, perfect face
Every step measured, every word weighed
"Be like her" was the price they paid
Smile for the cameras, play the part
Hide the fire burning in my heart
They drew the lines, I walked the wire
But something in me caught on fire!
I'm done shrinking, done pretending
Done rewriting who I'm meant to be!
The cage is open, the match is lit
Time to run the way I see!
Run red! Paint the sky, break the mold!
Run red! Let the fire take control!
No more quiet, no more pale
I'm the storm that they can't nail!
Run red! Through the night, through the fear!
Run red! Every scar becomes a spear!
This is my blood, this is my name
I run red and I'm never the same!
They said "be careful," they said "be sweet"
But careful girls don't get to breathe!
I was the wild one, the loud one, always wrong
The sister who never sang their song!
Every expectation like a chain I wore
Till I snapped it off and asked for more!
No more borrowing someone else's light
I burn my own and I burn it bright!
I'm done shrinking, done pretending
Done rewriting who I'm meant to be
The cage is open, the match is lit
Time to run the way I see!
Run red! Paint the sky, break the mold!
Run red! Let the fire take control!
No more quiet, no more pale
I'm the storm that they can't nail!
Run red! Through the night, through the fear!
Run red! Every scar becomes a spear!
This is my blood, this is my name
I run red and I'm never the same!
They wanted a daughter who colored inside the lines
I spilled the paint and danced in the shine
Scare yourself, they said, so I did
Let the lipstick bleed, let the real me live
No more polite, no more censored skin!
I'm the mess they warned you about... and I'm all in
...and I'm all in
We learn to whisper when we want to scream
Trade our colors for a softer dream
Every "good girl" smile we paint on tight
Hides the wildfire burning through the night
But one day the mirror cracks, the mask falls through
And you finally see the version that was always you!
No more asking permission to be loud
Run red, let the whole world figure it out!!
Run red! Paint the sky, break the mold!
Run red! Let the fire take control!
No more quiet, no more pale
I'm the storm that they can't nail!
Run red! Through the night, through the fear!
Run red! Every scar becomes a spear!
This is my blood, this is my name
I run red!
I run red! (run red, red red!)
I run red! (run red, red red!)
I run red! (run red, red red!)
And I'm never the same!
Run red!
Run red!
Never the same
Run red!
