[Verse 1] I'm trying to be good I guess the testing doesn't end, I count the years behind me like I can't get back again Spent too long movin’ fast just to try to fix the pain, Baby it's too much I know my patience doesn't wait [verse 2] I’m not a perfect person but I'll do the best I can I pray to God keep helping all of us to understand [Hook] Been runnin’ all my life, tryna beat what’s closing in, Every step I take feels like I’m fightin’ just to sin. I been strong for so long I forgot how to rest, Tryna breathe with the weight sittin’ heavy on my chest. [Verse 3] Look at the position that the past put me in, Normal never fit how I was treated where I been. Raised around corners where survival speak loud, Dreams feel distant when this world keep us down. [Verse 4] Too many screens show a time that soon will fade, Chasing those illusions expectation seem delayed. Mind full of questions, knowledge mixed with doubt, Plans in my thoughts, I'm still searchin’ for the out [Hook] Been runnin’ all my life, tryna beat what’s closing in, Every step I take feels like I’m fightin’ just to sin. I been strong for so long I forgot how to rest, Tryna breathe with the weight sittin’ heavy on my chest. [Bridge / Reflection] Why do we have to struggle to learn the pain that we create? Why do we have to give up all we have when we escape? The harm that we ignore always circles back again, The heaviest of weight keeps me holding on his hand [Hook] Been runnin’ all my life, tryna beat what’s closing in, Every step I take feels like I’m fightin’ just to sin. I been strong for so long I forgot how to rest, Tryna breathe with the weight sittin’ heavy on my chest. [Verse 3] I know God is watchin, don't need the proof he paid, my heart is beating harder i won't test him in that way Life feels like its ending, like its just a breath away, Every choice I make feels wrong, please don't take my life away
