I slip out before first light 
The stars will be my guide, 
A won't stop, I'll chase the dark till morning 
If you notice that I have gone
it's nothing that you've done 
I just realized, this world's not gonna wait for me.

I'm running away 
You won't catch up to me 
I'm running away 
Don't try to stop me 
(Don't try to stop me)

My feet grow so heavy but 
I've got to keep moving 
The past clings to my heels 
Weighing every step.
The heart break, the broken dreams
It's no use repeating 
I lay aside the weight 
and press on straight ahead. 

I'm running away 
You won't catch up to me 
I'm running away 
Don't try to stop me.
My heart is beating just like a drum
The world is calling my name I'm finally free to run 
I'll leave it all behind 
And just keep breathing. 

One breath, one step before the next 
So breathe in, breathe out with no regrets I'm fine
This moment's mine, ohh
All of the things that I have done 
And nothing compares to what's to come it's true 
I'll make my move, ohh. 

I'm running away 
You won't catch up to me 
I'm running away 
Don't try to stop me 
My heart is beating just like a drum
The world is calling my name I'm finally free to run 
I'll leave it all behind 
And just keep breathing. 
Ohh
Just keep breathing, ohh

My heart is beating just like a drum
The world is calling my name I'm finally free to run 
I'll leave it all behind 
And just keep breathing.
