Lyrics (Start at 0:07):

The past keeps chasin’ me around
I thought I lost it, but then it found me like it always does
And dragging me back to who I was
And I’m runnin’, I’m runnin’, but not from you

I stay one step ahead of the pain
I keep an umbrella when there’s no rain
I got my guard up when there’s no war
Don’t know what I’m fighting for

Give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise, I promise I want you here
I want you here
But first, let me swallow my tears

Lookin’ for God I’m prayin, kneelin’
Had to go and do some healin’, sorry I was ghostin’ you
But what was I supposed to do?
I’m runnin’, I’m runnin’, but not from you

I stay one step ahead of the pain
I keep an umbrella when there’s no rain
I got my guard up when there’s no war
Don’t know what I’m fighting for

Give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise, I promise I want you here
I want you here

Oh, give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise, I promise I want you here
I want you here
I want you here
I need you here
I want you here
I want you here
I want you here
I need you here

I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
