Run

(album: Perfectionist - 2020)

I need to look
A certain way
(Aah, ah ah aah)
I break my back
With heavy weights
(Aah, ah ah aah)
Who'd want me if
I'm out of shape
(Aah, ah ah aah)

I thought being a man
Was determined by a scale of how attractive I am
Staring at the people's bodies
Like they're my competition
How can wanting to be healthy be an addiction
Mhm

I just keep run-run-running
I just keep run-run-running
And I don't stop, no
I just don't stop
Heartbeat racing, still
I don't stop
I just keep run-run-running

I need to look
A certain way
(Aah, ah ah aah)
I'm trying to lose
This baby face
(Aah, ah ah aah)
Everything hurts
Beauty is pain
(Aah, ah ah aah)

I thought being a man
Was determined by the callouses that cover my hands
And I said that I'm not leaving till I see definition
Am I weak if I don't push myself to the limit?
Mhm

I just keep run-run-running
I just keep run-run-running
And I don't stop, no
I just don't stop
Heartbeat racing, still
I don't stop
I just keep run-run-running

Maybe I'll never be happy
With the reflection staring at me
Is that why I'm so hard on myself?
Or am I just running from something else?

Run-run-running
Run-run-running
