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 used to be when I was me and worry free
And I know these burdens on my own

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 beat it
is to fight my every fear
I'm not gonna make it 'til I turn around
and face it alone' I know
That I can't keep on running'
no I just can't keep on running away
So it stops 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 am gonna make it past the very start
It's always been my hardest part
But I' I' I' I' I am gonna stay in control
I must admit this crutch is getting old
I am gonna throw it out of my hand
I'm finally here' I understand
I know I'll get there on my own

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 beat it
is to fight my every fear
I'm not gonna make it 'til I turn around
and face it alone' I know
That I can't keep on running
no I just can't keep on running away
So it stops today

You can hide from all the pain
But it will find you anyway
Yes' I know
Now I know

That I can't keep on running
No' I just can't keep on running away from here
I know that the only way to beat it
is to fight my every fear
I'm not gonna make it 'til I turn around
and face it alone' I know
That I can't keep on running'
no I just can't keep on running away
So it stops today
