Sarah Krehbiel - Running

You were pulling me right, then you were pulling me left,
When I just wanted to walk straight ahead
You were holding me back, you were pulling me down
And without you now I've found
I'm gonna run as fast as I can, and I don't need anyone to hold my hand
I'm gonna chase every one of my dreams, alone but not lonely
I have my friends and my family, everything I need
And I smile every day, knowing that list doesn't have your name
You were pulling me left, then you were pulling me right
Trying to fit me in the mold you had for your life
And if I didn't fit, I needed to be fixed
If I was gonna be the girl in your mind
So I ran as fast as I could, hoping you wouldn't cry but knowing you would
I need to finally be me, alone but not lonely
I have my friends and my family, everything I need
And I smile every day, knowing that list doesn't have your name
You were too busy pulling instead of holding
And planning instead of hoping
And pushing me along your plan
So I ended up standing instead of falling
And worried instead of wanting
And pushin away your plan
You didn't understand why I was crying
But I knew we were dying
Never on the same page
And you were writing out our story
While I knew it'd end shortly
And soon, everything changed
When I ran as fast as I could, knowing without a doubt that I should
I'm finally just me, alone but not lonely
It may sound harsh, but it's true
I'm so much happier without you
And I smile every day, knowing that I ran the right way
Now I'm running as fast as I can, thanking God no one's holding my hand
And I'm finding what God has for me, alone but not lonely
I'm chasing God wholeheartedly
And He is everything I need
And I smile every day knowing I'm running the right way
