Bad things happen to the people you love

And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above

But honestly, I've never had much sympathy

'Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me

I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away

Run away, run away and never come back

Run, run away, run, run away, run away

Show 'em that your color is black

Bad things happen to the people you love

And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above

But honestly, I've never had much sympathy

'Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me

It would take some time just to see me shine

For the whole world to see me here with all of my light

But honestly, I've given up on all those fights

So that one day, I'll have you all wrapped up in my light

I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away

Run away, run away and never come back

Run, run away, run, run away, run away

Show 'em that your color is black

I'm gonna run, run away, run, run away

Run away and never come back

Run, run away, run, run away, run away

Show 'em that your color is black

Bad things happen to the people you love

And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above

But honestly, I've never had much sympathy

'Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me

Bad things happen to the people you love

And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above

But honestly, I've never had much sympathy

'Cause the next time they'll probably be coming for me
