Run Video (MV)

I never let you in my brain
I wish that I could rip you out
'Cause you have caused me so much pain
I'm crippled with self-doubt
And all those things you say to me
I cling to every word
So why won't you let me leave
This prison's so absurd
This prison's so absurd

Tell me what to say
Tell me what to do
Why must I spend my life listening to you
Maybe when I'm gone
I'll understand
And I'll have lived regretting not just having run
I want to run

If I strive for diamond thoughts
They're stripped to graphite lies
I work for a vengeful boss
Every day's an uphill fight
I want to make my mark on space
But my feet stay on the ground
I want the world to know my name
But I'm crushed and I'm kept down

Tell me what to say
Tell me what to do
Why must I spend my life listening to you
Maybe when I'm gone
I'll understand
And I'll have lived regretting not just having run
I want to run
Why can't I run

I need some confidence
But I live in permanence
I can't break free of the strings
That keep controlling me

Tell me what to say
Tell me what to do
Why must I spend my life listening to you
Maybe when I'm gone
I'll understand
And I'll have lived regretting not just having

Told you what to say
Told you what to do
It was only a matter of time before I got sick of you
Maybe when I'm done
I'll understand
And I'll have lived regretting not just having run
I am doomed to regret not just having run
