Don't allow other people or other things to dictate who you are. Form your own narrative and don't let people 'run with you'.
lyrics
I don't want to go but hate to stay
I look at things a very different way
Sing honestly and clearly it's true
Dearly and sincerely a lovely view
I don't wanna run with you
I don't wanna run with you
You can say, say, say what you wanna say
Be, be, be what you wanna be
I don't run with you
You can love, love, love, love who you wanna love
Oh no, I think I found another dove
I won't run with you
I don't want to stay, but should I go?
My time is up, my mind is far below
You're seriously hoping that I'll smile?
Walk a little faster, for a while.
I don't wanna run with you
I don't wanna run with you
You can say, say, say what you wanna say
Be, be, be what you wanna be
I don't run with you
You can love, love, love, love who you wanna love
Oh no, I think I found another dove
I won't run with you
This is happy ever-after, I'll see you first on the fourth floor
waiting on him to come on up (come on up).
It's the point of no return, these seeing things,
these nightly dreams in a sanctuary of dust. Oh, dust.
You can say, say, say what you wanna say
Be, be, be what you wanna be
I don't run with you
