Not Running Anymore

Bon Jovi · Other Songs - Bon Jovi

Bless me father I have sinned,

I'm not sure where to begin.

I won't name names of where I've been,

But I've been there and back again.



No Hail Mary's will save me,

You learn to live with memories,

Hey, slip this c-note up your sleeve,

Just stay inside until I leave.



I've been running, always running

Never had both feet on the floor.

I've been running, always running,

Now I ain't running anymore...



The hands of time they tick no more

Let darkness fall upon this door

No waves do wash up on this shore

I won the fight but lost the war.



I've been running, always running

Never had both feet on the floor

And I've been running, always running

Now I ain't running anymore.



Yeah there were those who I have loved

Who've given all and given up

I pushed your patience and my luck

It wasn't love I didn't trust

It wasn't you, or me, or us

You've shouldered if's, and and's, and but's

It's not the way, OK, I've said too much



And I've been running, always running

Never had both feet on the floor

I've been running, always running

Now I ain't running anymore.
