It Stops Today

Colbie Caillat · Breakthrough [2009]

No no, I, I, I, I

I don't wanna break when I speak

I don't wanna shake while I'm standing

I don't wanna crawl into another hole

I don't know what I'm hiding for



No I, I, I, I

I don't wanna fall when I stand

I don't wanna have to hold your hand

I just want to be the girl I used to be

When I was me and worry free

I know these burdens are my own



But I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away from here

I know that the only way to beat it is to fight in my every fear

I'm not gonna make it til' I turn around and face it alone, I know

That I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away

So it stops today



So here I am, I'm taking my first step

Thought I was losing balance

But I caught myself

I kind of like the challenge

Nope, I don't need help

I am gonna make it past the very start

It's always been my hardest part



But I, I, I, I

I am gonna stay in control

I must admit this crutch is getting old

I am gonna throw it right out of my hand

I'm finally here, I understand

I know I'll get there on my own



So I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away from here

I know that the only way to beat it is to fight in my every fear

I'm not gonna make it til' I turn around and face it alone, I know

That I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away

So it stops today



You can hide from all the pain

But it will find you anyway

Yes, I know

Now I know...



That I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away from here

I know that the only way to beat it is to fight in my every fear

I'm not gonna make it til' I turn around and face it alone, I know

That I can't keep on running

No, I just can't keep on running away

So it stops today
