Run

You know you have to run.
Get away from everyone.
You've done all the good you could do.
And they still spit on you.
You've tried to see the sun. 
But now, you see that you have to run.

They've tried to crack you.
They've tried to make you break.
Tried to make the things you say, untrue.
Tried to make your life seem like a mistake.

The sun is set.
Everyone placed their bet.
Against or for you.
Doesn't matter, they don't know what you've been through.
There's nothing more to fret.
Your fate is what they bet.

You know you have to go.
No more regrets.
There are no more colors to show.
No more ignorant bets.

You know you have to run.
Get away from what they call fun.
They'll never stop spitting on you.
Because they're the ones who are untrue.
So go ahead and run.
Get away from everyone.
