Текст Jill Scott – Running Away

I put my heart on the back burner
Didn’t wanna face my own misery
Smiled as hard as I could
That felt so much better to me

Chorus
Running away, I was running x3

I, I, I tried to hide inside a beautiful place
I held on to my joy, but it felt so second place
More than anything I felt afraid
Afraid to feel the pain that I myself had made
Didn’t like what I had done
But I realized I was on a run

Chorus
Running away, I was just running x3

I was just running
From shadow side of the pool
It wasn’t me, just a caricature
Sometimes the pain came and I ran away
Didn’t wanna see
That life can be hard and ugly sometimes
That’s just the way it is
But I realized I couldn’t keep running
From this no, no, that’s the way life goes
Everything I’m supposed to feel,
Sometimes I’m supposed to cry
Sometimes I’m supposed to be confused

I put my heart on the back burner
Didn’t wanna face my own misery
Smiled as hard as I could
That felt so much better to me
But sometimes I couldn’t sleep at night
And food and shoes couldn’t curve my appetite
I couldn’t think and I couldn’t pray
And that’s what really done it do me,
I was running
I was running, running, running
I was running, running
I was running, running, running…
