Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Me in the quiet trying not to feel alone
Can't stop my mind from racing, I hate where it wants to go
And all that I hoped in, it cut me wide open
Looking for something to fix what I've broken
Here in the silence
You're everything I'm looking for
I was chasing anything to feel alive
I was falling low on temporary highs
Now I see it clearly after all this time
I was running after You
Running after You
Running after You
Now I see it clearly after all this time
I was running after You
I'm not afraid to say it, I need Your love (I need Your love)
For You there's no replacement, nothing even close enough
When all that I hope in, it cuts me wide open
Looking for something to fix what I've broken
Yeah, all that time I'm wasting
Can't take me from Your love
I was chasing anything to feel alive
I was falling low on temporary highs
Now I see it clearly after all this time
I was running after You
Running after You
Running after You
Now I see it clearly after all this time
I was running after You
(Running after You)
I'm not afraid to say it
I need Your love
(I need Your love)
I was chasing anything to feel alive
I was falling low on temporary highs
Now I see it clearly after all this time
I was running after You
(Running after You)
Running after You
Running after You
Now I see it clearly after all this time
I was running after You
