[Verse 1]
Bless me, Father, I have sinned
I'm not sure where to begin
I won't name names or where I've been
But I've been there and back again

[Verse 2]
No Hail Marys will save me
You learned to live with memories
Here, slip this c-note up your sleeve
Just stay inside until I leave

[Chorus]
I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore

[Verse 2]
The hands of time may tick no more
Let darkness fall upon this door
No waves to wash up on this shore
I won the fight, but lost the war

[Chorus]
I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
And I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore
[Bridge]
Yeah, there were roses I have loved
Who've given or have given up
I pushed your patience and my luck
It wasn't love I didn't trust
It wasn't you, or me, or us
You've shouldered ifs and ands, and buts
It's that way, okay, I've said too much

[Chorus]
But I've been running, always running
Never had both feet on the floor
I've been running, always running
Now I ain't running anymore
