[Verse 1]
I lied to myself again
To avoid any pain
I don't want a ball and chain
No never again
'Cause I am better off (Hoah!)
I used to be soft
But I'd rather be safe in my place
Than risk the pain of a man

[Chorus]
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything

[Post-Chorus]
Love used to tingle, now it burns (Ooh ooh)
Wine used to sparkle, now it only
Makes my stomach turn (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

[Verse 2]
I'm not afraid of a lonely life
I'm not losing this stride
I might feel less alive
But at least I'll survive
I wish I could celebrate
Like I could before
But ever since you came around
I've had one foot out the door
[Chorus]
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything

[Post-Chorus]
My heart used to be limber, now it's stern (Ooh ooh)
Beaten and broken to the point
Of no return (Ooh ooh ooh)

[Chorus]
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
I'm running, I'm running, I'm running
From everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything, everything

[Outro]
What am I
What am I so afraid of?
What am I
What am I so afraid of?
What am I
What am I so afraid of?
What am I
What am I so afraid of?
