Running Back Lyrics

Who could ever rid my heart of myself
Who could ever hold myself at bay?
Who could ever recognize me?
Relate to my ways in all their wildness?
My mind is set and I was only meant for you
Now even when I run I keep running back to you

You would help me know my weight and won't take my pride
You can never know what you do to me
You were the reason all those dreams won't take my pride
You can never know what you do

Girl you never, ever, ever have worry about nothing else
Your health, your wealth
You don't have to do it all by yourself
You don't have to go away with me
All I ever really wanted was for you to make your way with me
And though life will change
Things will never sway, no way
You don't have to come back
You don't have to fight the temptation to crawl
You don't have to risk yourself and show yourself
When it's fate, this loving won't fall
You don't have to go away with me
All I ever really want is for you to make your way with me
And though life will change, things never, ever won't feel this way

You would help me know my weight and won't take my pride
You can never know what you do to me
You are the reason all those dreams won't take my pride
You can never know what you do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
