running away (acoustic demo) lyrics

[Verse 1]
My heart’s trapped in a box
And it’s collecting dust
And I’m losing blood
But I think it’s time I found myself
Away from the damage
That I once held in my small tender heart
That’s still too big for my body

[Chorus]
And I’m running so I
Have to go, I
Can’t let you know
I’m leaving so I guess it’s goodbye

[Verse 2]
So throw away the box
The body you held my heart
But it was never yours
It belongs to the girl that I once was
And I don’t wanna leave here tonight
And I’ve been praying even though there’s no god
If it hurts this much to be alive

[Chorus]
And I’m running so I
Have to go, I
Can’t let you know
I’m leaving so I guess it’s goodbye
[Bridge]
And I know you will
Comе crying at my windowsill
No, I can’t open that box
No, I can’t be your dog
I can’t just claw at your heart anymorе
I can’t follow you around anymore
And I keep waiting for you to come around
But I can’t wait for you to change anymore

[Outro]
So I’m running so far
Away from you, I
Can’t breathe anymore
As you honest as you once were?
And don’t you dare
Come crawling back with your dull stare
Cause I can’t hold out my hand
Why can’t you understand?
You don’t own me anymore
You don’t have my heart anymore
It’s not in that box anymore
