Jesse McCartney – Runnin' lyrics

Running away
Running away
Hey
Running away

I had the perfect girl
We'd spend together hours everyday
Could say that I had it made
And I was all for the commitment
Then she started wanting more from me
And my mind began to change
Suddenly I didn't feel the same
I didn't know what I was doing

I was dodging commitment
Start but don't finish
My mo's always the same girl
I know I've been trippin'

I'm confessin' I'm confessin'
So baby just hear me out
I'm confessin' I'm confessin'
So baby just hear me out
I wanna show my heart
But I don't know where to start

So I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away?
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heart break
So scared of making mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on running away
Runnin' away
Hey

I caught a second wind of happiness
When I met this girl and then
We became the best of friends
We went from half full to half empty
I took a detour tryin' a find myself
But I'm on this road again
Want out of this box I'm in
I made it harder to be with me

I was dodging commitment
Start but don't finish
My mo's always the same girl
I know I've been trippin'

I'm confessin' I'm confessin'
So baby just hear me out
I'm confessin' I'm confessin'
So baby just hear me out
I wanna show my heart
But I don't know where to start

So I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away?
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heart break
So scared of making mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on running away
Runnin' away
Hey

I'm bout to break down baby I'm done
No I can't keep up runnin' (runnin') this marathon
No need to race when I already won
And if I got you by my side girl I already won
It's like lookin' for a treasure when it's already mine
It don't make sense, don't make sense
No matter how hard I try to define

I'm comin' face to face with myself
I know I don't need, don't need no-one else
So can somebody tell me where I'm going?
So can somebody tell me where I'm going?

I keep runnin'
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away?
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heart break
So scared of making mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on running away
Runnin' away
Hey

I keep runnin'
(Runnin' away)
With real love in my face
Why am I breakin' away?
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heart break
So scared of making mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you
All I really need is you
But I keep on running away
Runnin' away
Hey

Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey
