I need to look a certain way
I break my back with heavy weights
Who’d want me if I’m out of shape
I thought being a man
Was determined by a scale of how attractive I am
Stare at other people’s bodies like they’re my competition
How can wanting to be healthy be an addiction
I just keep running, running, running
I just keep running, running, running
And I don’t stop, no I just don’t stop
Heartbeat racing, still I don’t stop
I just keep running, running, running
I need to look a certain way
I’m trying to lose this baby face
Everything hurts, beauty is pain
I thought being a man
Was determined by the callouses that cover my hands
And I said that I’m not leaving til I see definition
Am I weak if I don’t push myself to the limit?
I just keep running, running, running
I just keep running, running, running
And I don’t stop, no I just don’t stop
Heartbeat racing, still I don’t stop
I just keep running, running, running
Maybe I’ll never be happy
With the reflection staring at me
Is that why I’m so hard on myself
Or am I just running from something else?
Running, running, running
Running, running, running
