Verse 1

X

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

Chorus 1

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

Verse 2

X

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?

Verse 3

X

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

Chorus 2

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

Verse 4

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

Chorus 3

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

Alright. Since this is the last song

You have to sing that part.

That’s the rules.
