Runnin' [My Version] (Originally co-written and sung by Jesse McCartney)

Runnin' away, runnin' away
Hey, hey hey
Runnin' away

He had the perfect career
He'd be rehearsing hours everyday
You could say that he had it made
And he was all for the fame and fortune
But then they started getting sick of him
And their minds began to change
Suddenly he didn't feel the same
He didn't know what he was doin'

[Hook]
He started dodging his commitment
Start but don't finish
His M.O.'s always the success
He's second guessing what he really wanted
He's confessing, he's confessing why can't they just hear him out (2x)
He wants to to show his heart
But he doesn't know where to start

[Chorus]
So he keeps runnin'
With so many chances in his face
Why is he breakin' away
He keeps runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak
So scared of making mistakes
He keeps runnin'
When all he really needs is a comeback
All he really needs is a comeback
So he keeps on...runnin' away
Runnin' away
Hey, hey, hey


He caught a second wind of happiness
When he launched his career and then
His career started running thin
It went from half full to half empty
He took a detour trying to find himself
But he's on this road again
Wants out of this box he's in
He made it harder to decide what he wanted

[Repeat Hook]
[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
He's 'bout to breakdown
Decides that he's done
No he can't, keep up running this marathon
No need to race when he's already won
And if he's got his fans by his side
He knows he already won
He says, "It's like fighting for a title when it's already mine."
It don't make sense, don't make sense
No matter how hard he tries to define
He's coming face to face with himself
He doesn't need to live up to anyone else
Now he know where his career's going (2x)

[Repeat Chorus 2x]
