I Don’t Want to Run

Verse 1

I fell without warning

No signs on the road

The ground spoke first

In a language made of weight

I look at my hands

They don’t know the way

Just fragments of trying

And a name that feels strange

Pre-Chorus

If there’s a way out of this

Let it be through me

Chorus

How do you climb from here?

When the bottom learns your face

I carry what I was

And what I couldn’t save

I don’t want to run

But sometimes I want to fade away

Verse 2

Days feel heavier

Like time won’t move right

I walk anyway

Even when my steps arrive late

There are old voices

Asking me to quit

And a stubborn breath

That refuses to disappear

Pre-Chorus

If there’s something to erase

Let it be the lies I keep

Chorus

How do you climb from here?

When exhaustion feels like home

I see what I was

I leave it in the past

I don’t want to run

But sometimes I want to fade away

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Maybe it’s not going back

Maybe it’s learning how to start again

With the same scars

Pointed somewhere new

Chorus

How do you climb from here?

When even fear gets tired

I carry what I was

Then let it fall behind

I don’t want to run

Today I choose to rise again

Outro

(No, no no no)

(No, no no no)

From here

(No, no no no)

(No, no no no)

I rise from here
