Lyrics Tessa Violet - Runaway

I was born come on the break of spring
mama told me I got joy to bring
but I got something buried in my soul
nothing ever seemed to make me whole

I got on my knees and learned to pray
God, if you're the one then I will stay
but I was given wings to fly away
I keep my word as long as I'm okay

so tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
I'm praying I got something worth the breath it takes to say
and I don't understand why I should get the chance
while in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
when I can't earn this chance

I wish that I were better at goodbyes
I don't connect with what would make you cry
I guess there's something different in my head
but I'll pretend I understand instead

You think I found a place where i belong
but nothing keeps me rooted here for long
I'd rather travel to a stranger place
then recognized as a familiar face

I'm afraid of running out of days
tell me everything will be okay
I think I am better on my own
but mama I'm afraid to die alone
