Kelis - Runnin' (Machinedrum Remix) lyrics

[Verse 1] I became a runner Like a river through your fingers No one's catching me We'll count one victory Best out of the three [Verse 2] I became a runner So they couldn't say she'll never fly She don't have wings I didn't need them 'Cause you would push the swing [Pre-Chorus 1] I became a runner To escape the fame I still don't wanna play A lion will never change [Pre-Chorus 2] I became a runner But I'm not afraid Probably a big mistake I never liked the cage [Hook 1] How can I forget you? You're never late, you're always right there at my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge [Verse 3] I became a runner Like the words you didn't stutter Right before the jab That's not what you meant Now you lost friend [Verse 4] I became a runner Like the dream that pulled you under Just before the day Sure, that's all that's left Better than regret Let's go [Pre-Chorus 3] I became a runner Need a shoe built to last So I can speed by the past And never face the facts [Pre-Chorus 4] I became a runner Oh I, I became a runner Oh I, I became a runner Oh I, I became a runner [Hook 2] How can I forget you? You're never late, you're always right there at my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge Keep your heads up [Post-Hook] How can I forget, how can I forget, how can I forget, how can I forget? How can I forget, how can I forget, how can I forget, how can I forget you? Let's go You're never late, you're always right there at my rescue You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge [Bridge] Fear beats me to the punch And my heart would know So I begin to run So fast, and I don't feel my feet I'm going in circles And I can't seem to reach your hand [Hook 1] How can I forget you? You're never late, you're always right there at my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge [Hook 1] How can I forget you? You're never late, you're always right there at my rescue How could I reject you? You are my cave that keeps me safe, you are my refuge
