[[VERSE 1] I buried names in the back of my mind Like broken glass I left behind Tried to run where the light won’t reach But the shadows learned how to speak Every mile just pulls it through The harder I fight, the more I lose I wore my freedom like a disguise But it felt like chains I couldn’t hide [PRE-CHORUS] AND I SWORE I’D NEVER LOOK BACK AGAIN BUT THE ROAD KEEPS CURVING BACK THROUGH MY SKIN [CHORUS] I CAN’T OUTRUN WHAT MADE ME CAN’T ERASE WHAT SAVED ME FROM THE FALL EVERY SCAR IS A PIECE OF ME EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO BURN IT ALL I THOUGHT I WAS LOST FOREVER BUT THE DARKNESS TAUGHT ME HOW TO SEE NOW I KNOW WHAT I’VE BEEN RUNNING FROM IS THE ONLY THING THAT SETS ME FREE [POST-CHORUS] IT BROKE ME DOWN BUT IT BUILT ME BACK I AM NOT THE SAME MAN I WAS [VERSE 2] I see the past in my reflection now Not a ghost, but a map somehow Every wrong turn led me here Through the wreckage, through the fear I tried to cut those ties clean But they were stitched into my bloodstream And every failure I tried to hide Was the soil where I learned to survive [PRE-CHORUS] AND I SWORE I’D NEVER FEEL THAT PAIN AGAIN BUT IT’S THE FIRE THAT MADE ME MORE THAN THEN [CHORUS] I CAN’T OUTRUN WHAT MADE ME CAN’T ERASE WHAT SAVED ME FROM THE FALL EVERY SCAR IS A PIECE OF ME EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO BURN IT ALL I THOUGHT I WAS LOST FOREVER BUT THE DARKNESS TAUGHT ME HOW TO SEE NOW I KNOW WHAT I’VE BEEN RUNNING FROM IS THE ONLY THING THAT SETS ME FREE [BRIDGE] I USED TO THINK I HAD TO HIDE IT PRETEND THAT IT NEVER WAS BUT BROKEN THINGS CAN STILL BE REFINED AND THE FIRE DOESN’T ALWAYS DESTROY — IT ADJUSTS SO I STOPPED RUNNING FROM THE MIRROR STOPPED CALLING IT MY ENEMY NOW I WEAR IT LIKE A WOUND THAT HEALS TURNED INTO STRENGTH INSIDE OF ME NOT A SAINT, NOT A LIAR JUST A MAN THAT SURVIVED THE FIRE [FINAL CHORUS] I CAN’T OUTRUN WHAT MADE ME CAN’T ERASE WHAT SAVED ME FROM THE FALL EVERY SCAR IS A PIECE OF ME EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO BURN IT ALL I THOUGHT I WAS LOST FOREVER BUT THE DARKNESS TAUGHT ME HOW TO SEE NOW I KNOW WHAT I’VE BEEN RUNNING FROM IS THE ONLY THING THAT SETS ME FREE [OUTRO] AND I’M NOT RUNNING ANYMORE I’M NOT RUNNING ANYMORE I’M NOT RUNNING ANYMORE
