[Verse 1] I’m a third-year now Badge on my chest They look twice at me Like I passed the test Your girlfriend, they say And I stand up tall I smile at my desk Like I’ve got it all [Pre-Chorus] But the hall feels long When the day goes thin Your name on my phone Makes the ache sink in You sent me a heart You asked, “Are you okay?” I said, “I’m fine, dear.” Then I looked away [Chorus] I won’t lose anymore I won’t run anymore I’m lonely, I know But I’m stronger than before I won’t lose anymore I won’t run anymore (Third year, third year) I’m walking through that door [Verse 2] You went far away To that far-off college A place I can’t reach That’s so smart and cool At night in my room I hold back the tears But you send me texts Through the quiet years [Pre-Chorus] You keep me afloat With your gentle words Even miles apart You still know my hurt So I wipe my face And I breathe again If you can go there Then I can get in [Chorus] I won’t lose anymore I won’t run anymore I’m lonely, I know But I’m stronger than before I won’t lose anymore I won’t run anymore (Third year, third year) I’m walking through that door [Bridge] Your college feels too high For the girl I was But you reached for me And I learned because Of the way you trust What I couldn’t see So I’ll study hard Till it fits me One full year I’ll give it my best I’ll chase your footsteps And pass that test [Final Chorus] I won’t lose anymore I won’t run anymore I’m lonely, I know But I’m stronger than before I won’t lose anymore I won’t run anymore (Third year, third year) I’m walking through that door I’ll get in, I swear I’ll get in, I swear (Wait for me, my dear) I’ll meet you there
