Out of Breath

Описание: Laced up my sneakers, ready for the race
Tried to match your rhythm, tried to match your pace
But you were like a shadow, slipping through the light
I was sprinting marathons in the middle of the night
You turned every corner, never glanced behind
While I was losing balance, losing my mind

My lungs are burning fire, my knees are getting weak
I’m screaming out your name, but I can hardly speak
The distance keeps on growing, no matter what I do
So tell me what’s the point of running after you?

So I’m stopping right here, planting my feet
Done with the pavement, done with the heat
I’m untying these laces, throwing them away
I’m not chasing ghosts, not another day
Run as fast as you want, disappear in the blue
My running days are over... I’m done chasing you.

You treated my heart like a game of tag
But I was the only one carrying the flag
No water breaks, no hand to hold
Just a lonely road that’s getting quiet and cold
I thought if I ran faster, you might slow down
But I’m just a stranger in your speed-of-light town

My lungs are burning fire, my knees are getting weak
I’m screaming out your name, but I can hardly speak

So I’m stopping right here, planting my feet
Done with the pavement, done with the heat
I’m untying these laces, throwing them away
I’m not chasing ghosts, not another day
Run as fast as you want, disappear in the blue
My running days are over... I’m done chasing you.

Did you even notice that I fell behind?
Was I ever really, truly on your mind?
I guess I wasn't worth the time to wait
Just a runner-up who was always late.

But it’s cool, it’s fine, I’ll catch my breath
I’ll walk my own speed, scare away the death
My shoes are worn out, but my soul is free
You keep running, baby...

...I’ve got me.
Yeah, I’ve got me.
