I've Got to Run Lyrics

I've got to fight my problems
Too many things I don't want to face
I don't like what I see
But as soon as I get around
I'm gonna leave this place

Problems I don't want to face
Run, out of this place

Can't decide, can't resolve
I can't go with the things at home
I don't know which way to turn
Damn my luck, I'm afraid I'll burn

Problems I don't want to face
Run, run out of this place

De-cis-ions, I don't know what to think
I don't know what to do
Looks like this gets troubles
They always interfere with me

Problems I don't want to face
Run, out of this place

I've got it bad, I've got a target on my back
I...run
Problems I don't want to face
Run, out of this place

I've got to 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.
