Speech Debelle – Running lyrics

So calm, if this weather persist
I’ll adjust my thrifts; need a new wardrobe
Yo! My style Isis, my muse, my change views are through you
Your eyes smile, windows to your upper room
Third eye flutters whenever we share cues
What? That’s how you feel too
This is mental and we are meant to
Yo! I seem to have a thing for you
Purposeful in your plans I’m inspired by you
Without having a clue you inspire the youths
And I can see a future in you 'cause you nourish you roots
I can see your lineage has put the power in you
Mental physical, spiritual too
I can’t seem to find the space to get the message to you
But if it was reciprocated then I wouldn’t have to run to you

I keep running, running, oh, running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart

I’m just giving you the facts, every Whatsapp I get a heart attack
I overreact, your words are vague,
Your intent is straight; I’ve created a maze
I over analyse when I’m relaying the play and you center stage
The curtains drop and I stand there with nothing to say
The crowd looks in wait uncomfortable in their gaze
Unrequited love is shame
Pages turn, chapter’s change, what are these dreams I paint
The want and the need, battle for the space
That’ll make the love bring the pain
I guess the ego comes alive when the fears are never tamed
I’ve fallen for you it won’t magically go away
The beauties when the beast gets some recognition
Gotta stop running to you, running to a vision

‘Cause I’m running, I keep running
I keep running, running, oh, running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart

If I’m running to you what do I loose
I need this space for love to come through
It’s better for me to get over this need
I’m running to you and running from me

I’m running from me
I’m running from me

I can’t be happy with a piece, the little that I get back
Your smile as you turn to me but it never really meant that
‘Cause your heart don’t yearn for me
Your body don’t burn for me
This lust don’t work for me
It’s taking a toll on me
I can’t be happy with a piece, the little that I get back
Your smile as you turn to me but it never really meant that
‘Cause your heart don’t yearn for me
Your body don’t burn for me
This lust don’t work for me
It’s taking a toll on me

I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart

I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
I know I can’t keep running to your heart
