I'm stuck with these sins   I'm hoping maybe time can resolve them   I'm a lying, cheating, thieving coward   Who's trying to follow Christ   I'm hoping he can fix this old dog with new tricks   'Cause death is my only device   Yeah death is my only device      I said I needed room to breathe   I said I needed truth, break free   But all that's truth that I was running from you   Turns out I was running from me      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   Who's going to take care of me?      Now if history is violence and sex   I'd rather not pay my respects   If I've caused offence   If I'm too direct   I'm just trying to talk some sense   I'm politically incorrect      I said, I said I needed room to breathe   I said I needed truth, break free   But all that's truth that I was running from you   Turns out I was running from me      La, la, la, la, la, la   Running away from me   La, la, la, la, la, la   Running away from me      I've been giving this a lot of thought   Who am I, who on earth is God?   The answer ain't kind and the reason's fine   But by God it's the only answer I got   It's the only chance I've got      I said I needed room to breathe   I said I needed truth, break free   But all that's truth that I was running from you   Turns out I was running from me   It turns out I was running from me      La, la, la, la, la, la   Running away from me   La, la, la, la, la, la   Running away from me
