I won't suffer, be broken, get tired, or wasted
Surrender to nothing, I'll give up what I
Started and stop this, from end to beginning
A new day is calling, and I am finally free

Run away, run away, I'll attack
Run away, run away, go chase yourself
Run away, run away, now I'll attack
I'll attack, I'll a, whoa!

I would have kept you, forever, what we had to sever
It ended for both of us, faster than a
Kill off this thinking; it's starting to sink in
I'm losing control now, and without you I can finally see
