Runner Songtext
von Karley Scott Collins

Born with an innocence
Raised in a picket fence
Back when ignorance was bliss
I gave you all of me
The light in my eyes for free
And you sealed my fate with a kiss

And I curse you by name
For what I became
And I couldn′t even tell my own mother

Now I'm a runner
I′m a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I'm a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I'm bitter
A sinner if fear is the vice
I′ve loved and lied
I′ve done my time
Chasing one heartbreak with another
Now I'm a runner


Keep my heart in a vault
These walls are ten years tall
There ain′t foot-holes to climb 'em
′Cause after it breaks, it just don't beat the same
And I don′t even recognize the rhythm

But now I'm a runner
I'm a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I′m a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I′m bitter
A sinner if fear is the vice
I've loved and lied
I′ve done my time
Chasing one heartbreak with another

Now I'm a runner
A breaker
I cry about it later
I don′t give 'cause I once loved a taker
I was a truster
You ripped the rug from under
The feet of a girl who once was a lover


Now I′m a runner
I'm a bullet right out of a gunner
A cutter when I feel the ties
I'm a quitter
Yeah, when it comes to love, hell, I′m bitter
A sinner if fear is the vice
I′ve loved and lied
I've done my time
Chasing one heartbreak with another
Now I′m a runner

Now I'm a runner
