Run Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Remember make believe in you
All the things I said I'd do
I wouldn't hurt you, like the world did me
Keep you safe, I'd keep you sweet
Everything that I went through
I'm grateful you won't have to do
I know that you will have to fall
I can't hide you from it all


[Pre-Chorus]
But take the best of what I've got
And then you know no matter what
Before you walk away, you know you can

[Chorus]
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, back to my arms
Run, run, run
Back to my arms and they will hold you down
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
They will hold you down
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
See, here's the bloody, bloody truth
You will hurt and you will lose
I've got scars you won't believe
Wear them proudly on my sleeve
I hope you'll have the sense to know
That sadness comes and sadness goes
Love so hard and play life loud
It's the only thing to give a damn about

[Pre-Chorus]
But take the best of what I've got
And then you know no matter what
Before you walk away, you know you can

[Chorus]
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, back to my arms
Run, run, run
Back to my arms and they will hold you down

[Verse 3]
All this time, I swear I'll never waste it
All your smiles, I'm always gonna save them
(They will hold you down)
Put it in the back of my mind
Whenever I'm away from you
(They will hold you down)
All this time, I swear I'll never waste it
All your smiles, I'm always gonna save them
(They will hold you down)
Put it in the back of my mind
Whenever I'm away from you

[Bridge]
Run, run, run
Back to your arms, back to your arms
Run, run, run
Back to your arms

{Chorus}
And they will hold you
Run, run, run
Back to my arms, back to my arms

[Outro]
(Run)
All this time, I swear I'll never waste it (Run)
All your smiles, I'm always gonna save them (Run)
Put it in the back of my mind
Back to my arms, and they will hold you down
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
They will hold you down
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

During a live chat on the day of the album’s release, P!nk was asked who’s featured at the end of “Run”, and she replied with: “A little girl! We found a really young girl — Butch did actually — to sing on that, and I actually wasn’t there when she sang it because I can’t handle it. I can’t handle little girls anymore, I’m too emotional, and I would’ve been crying and she would’ve been uncomfortable. So I wasn’t allowed to go to that.
