I WALKED SO YOU COULD RUN

'VE BEEN MOURNING MY EGO
I'VE BEEN LETTING MYSELF GO
EVERY MORNING I LET GO
OF ANYTHING I EVER DREAMED OF
EVERYTHING I EVER HOPED FOR
PUT A KNIFE TO ITS NECK SO IT'S OVER WITH

TEN YEARS DEEP THAT'S TEXTBOOK STAMINA
THEN I LET IT GET THE BEST OF ME
AND I DROWNED CAUSE I FORGOT TO BREATHE
THIS IS NO PLACE TO BE ROMANTIC

I WALKED SO YOU COULD RUN
STARTED MOTHERING BEFORE I BECAME A MOM
PICKED MY FLOWERS ON MY OWN NO ONE GAVE ME NONE
I STILL STUMBLE BUT I NEVER NOT GET IT DONE
I WALKED SO YOU COULD RUN
TRIED TO HIDE FROM ALL MY DEMONS BUT THEY ALL CAUGHT UP
SPENT A BAG TO FIX THE PAIN BUT IT NEVER STOPPED
AND I'M STILL BROKEN BUT I NEVER NOT GET IT DONE

I'VE BEEN MOURNING MY EGO
IT DIED ON ME AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO FILL ITS SHOES OR WALK IN THEM
BUT I KNOW THIS IS NO PLACE FOR SECOND GUESSING

I WALKED SO YOU COULD RUN
STARTED MOTHERING BEFORE I BECAME A MOM
PICKED MY FLOWERS ON MY OWN NO ONE GAVE ME NONE
I STILL STUMBLE BUT I NEVER NOT GET IT DONE
I WALKED SO YOU COULD RUN
TRIED TO HIDE FROM ALL MY DEMONS BUT THEY ALL CAUGHT UP
SPENT A BAG TO FIX THE PAIN BUT IT NEVER STOPPED
AND I'M STILL BROKEN BUT I NEVER NOT GET IT DONE
