 I’m stuck with these sins
 I’m hopin’ maybe time can resolve them
 I’m a lying cheating fiend and coward
 Who’s trying to follow Christ
 I’m hopin’ He can fix this old dog with new tricks
 His death is my only device
 Ya death is my only device
I  said I needed room to breathe
I  said I needed to break free
Well  all that’s true, that I was running  from you
-X
 Turns out I was running from me

 There’s a girl who lives down my street
 She says the flowers take care of the bees
 She tells me I’m poor and my daddy’s at war
 Oh who’s gonna take care of me?

 Now if history is violence and sex
 I’d rather not pay my respects
 If I’ve caused offense
 If I’m too direct
 I’m just trying to talk some sense
 I’m politically in-correct
 I said
I  said I needed room to breathe
I  said I needed to break free
Well  all that’s truth, that I was running  from you
Turns  out I was running from me
La  la la la  la la
Running  away from me
La  la la la  la la
-X
 Running away from me
 X
 I’ve been given this a lot of thought
 Who am I? Who on earth is God?
 The answer ain’t kind
 And reason to find
 But by God it’s the only answer I got
 Yeah God it’s the only chance I’ve got
I  said I needed room to breathe
I  said I needed to break free
Well  all that’s truth, that I was running  from you
Turns  out I was running from me
 It turns out  I was run-ning from me
La  la la la  la la
Running  away from me
La  la la la  la la
 Running away from me
 X
 Alright. Since this is the last song
 You have to sing that part.
 That’s the rules.
 It goes like this…
La  la la la  la la
Running  away from me
 La la la la la la
 Running away from me
