You need somebody who likes themself Who lives for life and never calls for help You need somebody to walk you back Someone who loves you too before you ask You’re worth more, you’re worth more than this You can take a leap without the risk There’s no time, there’s no time for this Take your love and start again So run for your life, run for your life If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time You need someone who can stand alone Who finds the way, instead of being shown Somebody with confidence Who's strong enough to be hit more than once You'll find more, you'll find more than this Take the world that's at your fingertips Don't waste time, don't waste time with this Take your love and start again So run for your life, run for your life If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time Run, run and don't look back again Run, run, one day you'll understand I'm not, no, I'm not who you think I am So run for your life (run and don't look back again, run and don't look back again) Run for your life (one day you'll understand, one day you'll understand) If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time Run for your life, run for your life If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
