No, no, I, I, I, I, I don't want to break when I speak

I don't want to shake while I'm standing

I don't want to crawl into another hole

I don't know what I'm hiding for

No, I, I, I, I, I don't want to fall when I stand

I don't want to have to hold your hand

I just want to be the girl I use to be when I was me and worry free

I know these burnings on my own



[Chorus:]

But I can't keep on running

No I just can't keep on running away from here

I know that the only way to be is to fight my every fear

I'm not going to make it 'til I turn around and face it alone, I know

I can't just keep running, no I just can't keep on running away

So it stop today



So here I am, I'm taking my first step

Thought I was losing balance but I caught myself

I kind of like the challenge, no I don't need help

I'm going to make it past the very start

It's always been my hardest part



But I, I, I, I, I'm going to stay in control

I must admit this crutch is getting old

I am going to throw it out of my hand

I'm finally here, I understand

I know I'll get there on my own



[Chorus:]

So I can't keep on running

No I just can't keep on running away from here

I know that the only way to be is fighting my every fear

I'm not going to make it 'til I turn around and face it alone, I know

That I can't keep running, no I just can't keep on running away

So it stop today



[Bridge:]

You can hide from all the pain

But it will find you anyway

Yes, I know, now I know



[Chorus:]

That I can't keep on running

No I jus't can't keep on running away from here

I know that the only way to be is fighting my every fear

I'm not going to make it til I turn around and face it alone, I know

That I can't just keep running, no I just can't keep on running away

So it stop today
