lyrics

I think I'm runnin', runnin' from somethin' I can't hide
Somethin' that's in my make up, that can't be denied
If I'm on the road to loss and pain then I just rewind
Pretend that things never changed and just reset my mind
They try to shake me, try to break me but I just stay tough
They sleepin' under blankets on my records, I'm yellin' "WAKE UP!"
I'm feelin' tired, I'm feelin' lost, I'm feelin' a bit left out
Like a square in a circle, how do I fit now
So I'll just run away, call me a runaway child
(runaway child)
I'll do my own thing, how do you like me now
(how do you like me now)

'Cause I've got places I've gotta go and I'm never ever gonna stop, stop
And I know that If I keep my head up I'll only ever see the top, the top

(CHORUS)
I know life won't always be good
And I always get down on myself even though I shouldn't
I know that life won't always be good
(go go go, go go go for broke, go go go, go go go for broke)
And I always get down on myself even though I shouldn't
(go go go, go go go for broke, go go go, go go go for broke)

Dear life, why you always throwin' that monkey wrench into my plans
Do you not yet understand, no matter what I'mma get the upper hand
I know lately folks don't play me, 'cause I'm all dark and emo
But I'd rather air out my downfalls than be that guy with the ego
I'm not runnin' away from y'all, I'm just livin' this thing called real life
Go from spotlights to a nine-to-five and then tell me what that feels like
Day to day most fade away and I hate to use the term average
But most of us will get stuck in the cycle, never see a life that's lavish
I zone out, put the truth in poems and escape, shout out to Rupert Holmes
Do the best I can to write my pain, might hate the rules but I like the game
'Til that day that the race is through, do my best to be passin' you
Look at your crew with a massive smile
Y'all got beat by a runaway child

'Cause I've got places I've gotta go and I'm never ever gonna stop, stop
And I know that If I keep my head up I'll only ever see the top, the top

(CHORUS)
I know life won't always be good
And I always get down on myself even though I shouldn't
I know that life won't always be good
(go go go, go go go for broke, go go go, go go go for broke)
And I always get down on myself even though I shouldn't
(go go go, go go go for broke, go go go, go go go for broke)
