Isn't it funny how sometimes
The fear doesn't come until the danger's already passed?
.
But then it hits you, all at once,
As if to try to make up for it
For letting it's guard down
I'm not a physically fit person
But recently I feel like running
Running from my house,
Running from my job,
Running from my emotions,
Running from who I am,

I left you happily, without anything to say
we were never meant to be
