[Verse 1]

I stare into the mirror like it’s someone else
Tired eyes, fake smile, just a ghost of myself
I’ve buried things I never faced
But silence doesn’t heal, it just gets replaced

I keep pretending that I’m fine
But I’ve been breaking all this time
The louder I laugh, the harder I fall
Can’t outrun what’s inside after all

[Chorus]

I’ve been running from myself
Every breath a cry for help
Try to hide the cracks I feel
But the pain’s too loud, the scars too real

I’m a stranger in my skin
Wearing masks I can’t defend
Chasing peace through someone else
But I’m just running—running from myself
(from myseeeeelf)
[Instrumental Break]

[Heavy electric guitar riff with layered synth textures, drums kicking in with urgency.]

[Verse 2]

I thought if I kept moving, I’d leave it behind
But every step just loops the same rewind
I say I’m healing, I say I’m strong
But I’ve been lying to me all along

Can’t face the truth when it cuts this deep
Can’t find rest, can’t even sleep
No one can save me from this hell
When the thing I fear the most… is myself
(oooh ohhh)
[Chorus]

I’ve been running from myself
Every breath a cry for help
Try to hide the cracks I feel
But the pain’s too loud, the scars too real

I’m a stranger in my skin
Wearing masks I can’t defend
Chasing peace through someone else
But I’m just running—running from myself
(from myseeeelf!)
[Bridge]

[Stripped down to clean guitar and vulnerable vocals.]
Tried to outrun the shadows in my mind
But they’re faster every time
Tell me how to break this chain
When I’m the lock and I’m the pain
(mmmmmm)
[Drums and guitars build back in, rising into final chorus.]

[Final Chorus]

I’ve been running from myself
Every breath a cry for help
Tried to scream but no one hears
Just echoes of my hidden fears

I’m a stranger in my skin
Wearing masks I can’t defend
Chasing peace through someone else
But I’m just running—running from myself
(mmmmmmmmmm)
[Outro]

[Guitar fades with soft distortion, final line whispered.]
Still running…
From myself. (from myself)
From myself..
