Run Lyrics

I guess I looked like a coward
To your accusing blue eyes
There was a sentence for crying
When being sad was a crime

And you held your head up high, that's right
And then you told me: "Stand up straight
You got to keep your mind on the things at hand"
Oh, what a childish thing to say

So come on

You saw yourself as a rebel
Far ahead of the crowd
That's why we made such a great team
I was stupid, you're proud

And you held your head up high, that's right
And then you told me: "Stand up straight
You got to keep your mind on the things at hand"
Oh, what a childish thing to say
I won't make the same mistakes
Someone else will take the blame for what I've done

Me, I run, run, run

I know you think I'm a baby
And now you're calling me names
I heard you calling me traitor
Well, now it's clear I got framed

And you hold your head up high, that's right
And sure I know you'll stand up straight
And then you keep your mind on the things at hand
Oh, what a childish claim to stake
I won't make the same mistakes
I know you'll take the blame for what I've done

I'm gonna run, run, run

Love Is My Drug

I guess I looked like a coward
To your accusing blue eyes
There was a sentence for crying
When being sad was a crime

And you held your head up high, that's right
And then you told me: "Stand up straight
You got to keep your mind on the things at hand"
Oh, what a childish thing to say

So come on

You saw yourself as a rebel
Far ahead of the crowd
That's why we made such a great team
I was stupid, you're proud

And you held your head up high, that's right
And then you told me: "Stand up straight
You got to keep your mind on the things at hand"
Oh, what a childish thing to say
I won't make the same mistakes
Someone else will take the blame for what I've done

Me, I run, run, run

I know you think I'm a baby
And now you're calling me names
I heard you calling me traitor
Well, now it's clear I got framed

And you hold your head up high, that's right
And sure I know you'll stand up straight
And then you keep your mind on the things at hand
Oh, what a childish claim to stake
I won't make the same mistakes
I know you'll take the blame for what I've done

I'm gonna run, run, run

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
