Run Myself Into The Ground Lyrics

Where did my self-control go
Did it rise up from my body
When I answered the phone
And you told me not to lie to you
And I decided to tell the truth

But I ain't gonna change for nobody at all
I'm starting to like this new love I have found
I don't wanna let this dark companion go
I would rather run myself into the ground

Where did my mind wonder off to
Found myself yammerin' all to you
Thought I'd never let those things outside my head
Probably should've kept 'em locked away instead

But I ain't gonna change for nobody at all
I'm starting to like this new love I have found
I don't wanna let this dark companion go
I would rather run myself into the ground

Everyone's watching me
And I'm starting to believe
That I can read everyone's mind
Before I am accused
Your eyes give me the cue
And I am out the door

But I ain't gonna change for nobody at all
I'm starting to like this new love I have found
I don't wanna let this dark companion go
I would rather run myself into the ground

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.

my guess is that this is either about anorexia or drugs. she regrets having confessed about it to somebody, and now she's rationalizing and planning how to get out of conversations with more people trying to help her. she's starting to love her new body and way of life, and she isn't willing to give that up.
